Racial Equality

No one chooses the place of birth, the color of the eyes, the skin, the hair. Everything on earth is in color, even people.
If we love colorful flowers or birds, why not love the diversity of people?
I was lucky to be born into a family where not much was commented on the racial, religious and national affiliation of the people.
There was no prayer temple in my village because it was destroyed in the war. But my grandmother told me wise stories when I was a child. They stayed in my memory, and when I grew up, I understood the most important message: "Love and respect all people regardless of appearance, because you don't know who he is. Maybe God will speak to you in the form of a poor beggar”?!
As a member of a national minority, I moved from Serbia to another republic because of marriage. Our countries were at war. My husband is of another religion and nation. But we agree and respect each other. I received the international title of Ambassador of Peace from Asia and Africa. Through my work, writing and socializing with all the people on the planet, I became spiritually richer.
When I was studying economics, in the Student City in Novi Sad (Serbia), I met a medical student from Nigeria. His name was Ola Segun Aquinola. We were good friends. But everyone went their own way, and I don’t know how to find him. Why are there prejudices and animosities towards people of other races, colors or alien cultures? All people are morally, politically and legally equal and should be treated the same.
Enough of racial discrimination and tyranny!
I am a pacifist and I call on all like-minded people to fight for peace and equality among nations!
There is no green blood in my veins, and I love Native Americans from America just as much as Chinese, Africans or Europeans.
A lot of fighters for racial equality have been inscribed in history. One of them is Martin Luther King Jr.
On the tombstone of his grave are the words of the black spiritual song "Finally Free":
Free at last,
free at last,
thank God almighty

 I'm free at last.

PATERNAL LOVE TO THE FAMILY by Ate Mamu

Abraham Lincoln once said " God must love a common man, He made so many of them." Paternal originally a French word meaning "father" and paternal love is the feeling and action given by a father to his children. A typical family always consist of parent (father and mother) and their children. But nowadays, broken family happened with some acceptable reasons, therefore, fathers left his family or sometimes mother lived by herself. Still, children are the one who's affected a lot.  A fathers love contributes a lot to the childs growth and development, for shaping their attitudes and personalities upon their growing stage.  Father is the sons first hero, and a daughters first love. A son usually looking up after their dads, the strength and power  he show on how to support his family. Children engaging with their father most often while growing tend to be more behave and develop a sense of communication and interacts well with others. They build a strong confidence...
