Skindeep

What is a colour anyway? Some people claim that the colour, the looks, the religious/political beliefs or the origin of a person decides the value of that him/her.

But underneath the surface, we are all flesh and blood, we are all matter, we are all mortal beings. We are all members of the human race. All individuals. What matter does the colour of the skin or the shape of the eyes do to the mind and soul?

The value of a human life cannot be measured. Every individual human is unique, no other such person has ever existed before, and noone ever will.

In the dark, we are all equal. Yet, in the biggest darkness of them all, the blindness constituted by xenophobia, prejudice and racism, people are treated inequal.

Maybe man is not a seeing creature after all.
