Mixing up the Mancala beads

I wish that everyone could learn to appreciate everyone for who they are. I try very hard to not be judgmental of people and not to dislike anyone without reason. There is a lot of hate for no reason in our society because of jealousy and differences in appearance and economic status. Chicago taught me an important lesson this weekend; some people can't appreciate and enjoy they beauty in our world, instead of exploring the world and discovering the incredible feeling of a flower or a cheetah print wallet, instead of taking in the immense size of a highway sign to milwaukee or the chicago skyline they'd rather just stay in their own little comfortable and safe apartment making fun of people who they're jealous of and don't understand.
This is NOT a good quality in a person. It's an awful thing to hate. I met a man waiting for the el who was very strongly opinionated about hate and racism. There are both blacks and whites who hate the opposite skin color just for the color of their skin. Nobody wants to be hated. He said he'd rather be called a dumb ass mother fucker to his face then for someone to tell him they just straight up hated him. I thought this was extremely profound but that might have just been because i was on drugs.
