The Same

I admire/believe in strongly the standpoint of Dr. Farmer, where he wants universally everyone to be treated the same way. I do not think it is fair or even remotely practical to treat anyone differently from one another. For example, if someone is always harassing someone else from verbal insults to actual physical action, then asks the person who does nothing to be nicer, that is not logical at all. Regardless of people's diverse statuses in the world (ranging from gender to age to race to political party to etc.), people should still be treated fairly. As a Psychology major whose long term goals are being a psychologist for any age and helping as many people and animals before I die, I take this belief to heart. In my opinion, everyone is the same deep down. No one is entirely good or entirely evil. We all have strengths and weaknesses. No one needs any additional assistance than others. Furthermore I do not think a person should ever feel weak about needing or requesting help of any kind. It shows more courage to take a stand and ask for assistance. In many ways members of this colloquium class shows these traits and acts of service mentioned above. All of us have different backgrounds and standpoints but we all should be treated the same as anyone else. Some of us use food stamps, while some of us have never even heard of a food bank. Some of us have a good share of cash, some of us might still rely on an allowance. Some understand things from class on a personal level, while others only understand it from then the bystanders' point of view. Whatever it may be, it is. However we should be treated the same.  If I am willing to give you a hand, it is only right to assume I would like a mutual hand to return to me as well. That I believe, can quite simply the meaning of life. Why deny someone something I would like myself? There, there is no exact reason not to. Here's to a more tolerate, equal future. Let's raise all of our hands into this one. When the hands meet, we will see we are all the same deep down. No more segregation, just unity. After all, what are the first three letters of unity? U N I (aka you and I). Exactly. Point made.
