Welcome to FreeRepublic.com
We are all types of people, with a similar mind. One of the things we have learned is that we must “thicken our skin”. That means that we must not pay heed to those who speak bad or harmfully. Their words are to be heeded as the rain on a duck’s back. It falls to the ground and wastes it’s purpose.
Americans are nationalistic, as is China. But, we are all people of this planet, and have the same end goal. We wish to live a comfortable life, surrounded by family and friends, with a rood over our head. We work hard to provide nice things for them, and ourselves.
We all share a common goal, tomorrow! Let us join our voices and minds to bring the world together, regardless of nations. We are it’s people!
We pray for China and it’s families. It is a sad time for us all.
Thank you,WVKayaker, I really appreciate your reply.
Sometimes I can’t help but to think how humanity as a whole shares so much in common, but how we are all divided by common values. People from separate continents all discovered fire to cook foord, isolated culture all have its version of bow and arrows, swords, spear, boats, language, writing...etc.
All I want to say is, “Can’t we all just get along?”
