We Are All Damaged

When I look at you, I do not see your skin color,
Or whether you are male or female.
 I don’t consider your gender identity
Or your sexual preference.
When I talk to you, I don’t think about your religion;
Your nationality or ethnicity.
I will not judge your outward appearance that is different from mine
Nor will I try to break apart your IQ.
The only thing I look for is compassion and humanity.
I look for a respect in our differences,
And that includes our difference of opinion.
I look for tolerance, but do not beg for acceptance.
When I look at you
I see a wonderfully imperfect human being.
And if you are nice to and respect me,
I will freely give you the same.
If not, I will walk away.
I will not beg for your approval
And I will not deal with your issues toward me,
For these issues are yours.
I would expect you would do the same for me.
For like me,
You are an exquisitely damaged human being.

Critiques are nice. There are many ways to critique something and not be a jerk about it. :)
No abusive comments--everyone is entitled to free speech under the constitution, which means the government cannot persecute you for what you say, however this does not mean I have to put up with nasty comments because you do not agree with what I write. If you cannot comment like a civilized human being with some sense, then go away.
Have a happy and a healthy! :)
