Understand Differences

 We don’t have to be the same, to listen, to heal, to do things right. Understand the difference—and let ourselves become wiser.

We walk through our own career path,
Different roads, 

different hill top,

valley deep.

You say it’s straight , 

I see it cursive—
Two perspectives come from-

various experiences.
  Let’s stopped arguing,
deepening our thoughts and ideas.

Hold up—listen close, don’t rush,
Words can hurt or words can heal.
I’m trying to understand you empathetically
Not just pull you to what I feel.

Understand the difference,
Let it go, let it be.
Same earth, different stories—
There is always a reason, 

not a mystery.
We don’t have to be the same,
To belong, to grow, to achieve.
Understand the difference—
We can grow in what we seed.

Maybe we come from different places,
Different cultures, different perspectives
Your truth is not my credo,
My truth is not your belief.
If I get it wrong sometimes,
Then tell me—

don’t just screw,

enlarge the gap.

Say what you mean with honesty,
I’ll do the same, no fear.
If we both step back and look,
We’ll find a common ground to mind the gap..

Understand the difference,
Let it go, let it be.
Same planet, different perspectives—
That’s an open world,. not a limit
We don’t have to be the same,
To belong, to design, to innovate
Understand the difference—
We can mature in what we grow.

And if the world gets loud,
We’ll turn down the noise.
Turn the skepticism into universal wisdom,
Let kindness be the choice.
Not “me first,” not “you must,”
Just respect and reach for common values.

Understand the difference,
Hold it close, not tight.
We’re stronger when we collaborate—
Different minds, the same light of wisdom
We don’t have to be the same,
To listen, to heal, to do things right.
Understand the difference—
And continue to make ourselve wiser.
