“Really all we have to offer the world is the gift of our individuality. We can never be just like any other person. Our journey through life is an extremely personal contribution to the work of being human.”

In my experience when anyone tries to force their opinions and their rules as the norm for everyone, they are no longer being a gift. We see this evidenced in our attempts to use war as a way to create unity rather than embracing individuality. There is enough historical evidence to prove war is not a gift and has never brought unity! So maybe our task in life is to encourage and nurture those around us who need to offer their personal contribution of being human. Who knows, maybe their contribution will enrich everyone’s lives. I find it sad that so many world leaders arrogantly deny others the opportunity to be the individual gift they are, this work of being human. And, it is a gift!

Just being ourselves, with acceptance and support, with some safeguards for violent or harmful activity. Imagine how boring this world would be if we were all exactly alike.
The waiting area design looks modern, but it feels a bit cold and not very welcoming to me. Those chairs don’t look very comfortable. Perhaps I’m just seeing it through “old person” eyes. Haha!

I would not like living in a world of uniformity but individuality. Each of us a gift! Maybe the poor seating is keep people inside rather than hanging around outside.
