The Meaning of Life: Just Accept it

The meaning of life has been discovered by a small girl who exceeds no one’s expectations. She, earlier today, decided that she would discover what it means to truly be alive.

In her numerous observations, she found that very few people in this world are actually alive, because they lack one important thing. Most of humanity, alive on this world, lacks acceptance.

The man who says “Get a job, slimeball!” to the bum on the street, the woman who frowns at someone for opening a door for her, and the young sir who balks when he hears “Merry Christmas, fella.” from an elderly gentleman all have one very obvious thing in common: they do not accept.

Accepting cues from others, accepting love and compassion, and accepting people for who they are are all vital in life. If people refuse to accept, they are not able to connect with the world as a whole. These disconnected, disjointed people are not alive.

To live, and fully cherish life, people cannot be divided by race or religion. Just accept it.
