What's Justice Got to do With it?

I write this blog on social justice issues because it is something that is very important to me and that I'm very passionate about.  I would love it if we lived in a perfect world where everyone was treated fairly and all needs were met.  I wish that people across the earth were being cared for and I wish that everyone had a community of friends to help them through rough times.

All that being said the reality is that some people are harder to talk to and to be around.  I wish that I were loving everybody equally but I have a really hard time dealing with some people.  I don't spend the time to get to know some of the people in my neighborhood because they are difficult to deal with.  Their are a lot of reasons why some people are easier to be around then others.  Sometimes it comes from deep psychological trauma which affects the way they relate to others.

I wish I had a real solution to this but all I can really say is that we need to work together to be more inclusive of those who are often left out.  Try to see the reasons behind the behaviors that offend us and accept people for who they are rather than who we wish they would be.  I am working on becoming a person who can do this and I hope that some of my future posts will inspire some of you to do the same.
