- From the film "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" - "There's the macroscopic world that we see. There's the world of our cells. There's the world of our atoms. There's the world of our nuclei. These are each totally different worlds. They have their own language. They have their own mathematics. They're not just smaller-- Each is totally different. But they're complementary, because I am my atoms... but I am also my cells. I'm also my macroscopic physiology. It's all true. They're just different levels of truth. The deepest level of truth uncovered by science and by philosophy... is the fundamental truth of unity. At that deepest subnuclear level of our reality... you and I are literally one."

Awesome, haunting, resonates with truth. You post the best stuff.
My oldest got beat up and thrown in some bushes on the way home from school for being a white "Americano" when she was about nine. I have struggled for a long time with anger from this event, a lot longer than she seems to have. It has taken a lot of work and getting outside myself to see that most folks struggle with being "the other" too, in one way or another.
Oh, thanks again!
Nice. I enjoyed this one. Colorism~ isn't that crazy? When I was in NY I experienced this with one of my boyfriends who happened to be darker than I. He told me I had a "pissy" colour. How crazy is that? Well I probably did then but I am sure I don't have it now as I am more in the sun over here.
I witnessed it even when I was at home. It's a serious problem and the solution seems such an easy one. As one of them said, all you have to do is teach the kids at home to accept and the cycle continues. Why is that so darn hard? We have too much hatred in this world.
