Just Skin

We live our lives judging others by the outward appearances. The clothes we wear, the style of our hair, and what how much money we can spend. We also judge by the color of our skin. Our skin. Red, yellow, black, and white. Variations, tones, and shades, people judge. Why? What makes our color so important? Underneath us all red blood pulses through our veins, tissues and organs, hearts and brains work to survive in the nature of this world. Our minds and imagination create brilliant ideas so we can adapt to this cruel, cold, condemning society we’ve created for ourselves. What’s the point? If all that matters is on the inside, why do we assess the exterior? If you think about it…it’s just skin.
