Being Different

Being Different

What is it to be different? It seems a pity many will see those who are different as lesser than themselves. They stare, tease and condemn those who are different, assured in the knowledge they are better when, in reality, they are the lesser for their actions.

At this time of the year when day and night are so different, when the solstice condemns one half of the world to their longest night and the other their longest day, wouldn’t it be a greater world if we could celebrate our differences?

“Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.”
DR Jane Goodall (English ethologist & zoologist)

  2. This has nothing to do with your post, but I would like to thank you for commenting on my student's blogs! They were pretty pumped to see someone from Australia commenting on their photos!

  3. Thanks for the comments. I started this more serious blog but have now become so involved commenting on child/class/school blogs around the world I seldom have time to add to it.
