Treat all men alike. Give them all the same laws. Give them an even chance to live and grow. - Chief Joseph
My spirituality tells me I am not better than other people. And I'm not less than or inferior to other people either. I'm equal. Jesus is my mentor. He was a Jewish teacher who seemed to love everybody, if they would let him. Even when he was angry at them I believe he still loved them. Arrogance, pride, bigotry, prejudice, snobbery: these are the arrows that often slay the spirit. Living with the value of equality is the antidote. Equality affirms difference; however, it doesn't use difference to discriminate.
Today I treat people the way I would like to be treated.
