Lailah Gifty AkitaWe don't even know we are brothers and sisters.
About This Quote
The fact that we don't even know that we are brothers and sisters shows just how far apart we are. Even though we may share the same mother, our fathers may be completely different. When people are separated by vast distances, they often don't recognize their family ties. People used to live in the same house, but now they might live across the country or even in another state or continent.
It's important for us to recognize the link between people who are far apart. We need to recognize our family members and learn about them. If we don't learn about one another, then we start repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
