To Be Equally Human

I realize that humor isn't for everyone. It's only for people who want to have fun, enjoy life, and feel alive.
Anne Wilson Schaef (1934 - 2020), American clinical psychologist and author

"There is still much to learn about how to help all of our children, so that ultimately they can lead good, rich, and satisfying lives," wrote Lilian Katz in her article, "Celebrating Each Other’s Gifts" in the November/December 2013 issue of Exchange.

"I think the great struggle of our time — and no doubt for generations to come — is the struggle for equality.  But we might ask: equality of what?  People are not equally tall or musical or mathematical or athletic or beautiful, but they are equally human!  Equally human in the sense that they all have hopes, and dreams and wishes and fantasies and aspirations and fears and doubts.  They all want to be treated with respect and dignity and want to feel loved by someone.  In these ways it seems to me, all of the world's people have much more in common than they have apart!"
