Underneath the Hood

So, I started a new job today. I get along with all of the people I am working with. For a brief moment, we got to talking about backgrounds, and why they shouldn't matter when it comes to friends. Background is nothing but a introduction as to who we are. It does not define what type of person we will become, it does not define what types of decisions we will make, and it does not define us individually. The only thing to separate a Chevrolet Malibu and a Nissan Maxima is a name. We make the extra effort and decision to look beyond that. If we can argue about who's the better sports team, who makes the better car, or who has the better voice, then why do we still base our actions off of the outside appearance of someone? And better yet, why is racism the first assumption we come to? If you keep calling your self stupid, then don't get mad when someone agrees with you. We all characterize in one portion of our lives or another, so we are all practically as guilty as one another.What is on the outside should never be the reason for a decision. What's underneath should be more than enough to determine how you should feel towards anything. We walk upright for a reason. Now it's time to start acting like it. 

And that is my humble opinion.
