About This Quote
We are all different in some way or another. Different cultures, races, languages, religions, etc. Yet, when people are around us they look at us as if we are the same. When someone disagrees with us they do not listen to what we say.
They only hear what they believe to be true. To them we are all alike. Our differences are often seen as a threat to their beliefs and in turn they will fight against our ideas in order to maintain the status quo.
