Our Dif ferences Make Us Human
Saba DEREN
We live together in this world . It is impossible for two people to be the same . Something about ourselves makes us different and unique from the rest of the world . It is an irreversible fact that all of us need to accept . This can be a physical difference , a cultural difference or a mental difference or even an emotional difference .
First of all , physical differences are the most widely known differences . They are actually the easiest differences to overcome . Once you have a conversation with someone who is physically different , then you will understand that person ’ s physical appearance won ’ t matter . What matters is someone ’ s thoughts and ideas and the desire to do something in this life . For example ; one of the best-known painters , Frida Kahlo , created a lot of self-portraits although she had accidents and got surgery 32 times and became bedridden . She never gave up and said “ Feet , what do I need them for if I have wings to fly .’’ struggling with . He might have psychological problems and try to get over them . We need to try to understand and help each other at that point . Also , emotional differences shouldn ’ t be ignored . Someone can be more emotional , the other can be more logical . That two or more people being emotionally different doesn ’ t mean that they can hurt each other ’ s feelings .
In conclusion , everyone lives a different life . Our lives can affect the way we think . That ’ s why we shouldn ’ t judge people . We are very different from each other . However , we are all human so we should consider differences as our cultural wealth . By this way , we can move beyond limits and break down the barriers .
Secondly , cultural differences create stereotypes in people ’ s minds . For example ; people from some countries are so lazy , or people from that country are uncivilized etc . To overcome these stereotypes , we should educate ourselves by reading books , traveling and learning lots of things about their culture , religion , tradition and their way of life . We need to try to get to know them and we have to accept that we are a whole . By this way , we can overcome the cultural differences .
Thirdly , mental and emotional differences might be very hard to spot . Everyone has different kinds of lives with different parents and backgrounds in their life . We never know what a person is
