My Opera, people. Social network, Different
There are many different people in this world. Different because we dont know them, we have never spoken to them, seen them or because they live in parts of the world we have never even heard of or thought about or could understand the language or their culture and life style. But this so called 'Different' or 'Difference' is only superficial and can evaporate in a few moments. Yes my friend and fellow human. This difference can be bridged and removed by communication . Today thanks to the Internet in general and social networks like My Opera in particular,people can make friends ,exchange views , and discuss topics and see each other thru photos and videos. We can understand many things we have in common and share and partake of the joy and grief in each others lives.This so called 'difference' is like an efferverscence which evaporates as soon as 2 humans make contact by email or messaging or any other means of communication.
I am sure you have also experienced this great feeling that you are never alone in grief or joy,in sharing and giving or in many simple daily experiences we go thru in which we interact with others by voice or other means of commun-
ication.This interaction only has to be extended to include the unknown names and people who we think are 'different' and 'Voila' all becomes clear and in focus and we are no longer aware of any differences in others. We all share the same joys. sorrows,inspirations
and feelings of each other
just as we share the sun-
shine, atmosphere and the natural gifts which God has given to all beings He created to inhabit and flourish in this world irrespective of race,nationality, colour or creed.
