\"Sunset\"<\/a>
You are a sunset<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sunsets are beautiful, right?<\/p>\n

When was the last time you treated someone – a real person – as less than you would a beautiful sunset?<\/p>\n

Not long ago, eh?<\/p>\n

Why is that? Why do we de-humanize people so quickly?<\/p>\n

Obviously it makes us feel better\/superior – but you are and I am, believe it or not, no better than the next person. So when you categorize, label and disrespect someone, you’re disrespecting yourself.<\/p>\n

To label someone as different to you, labels yourself. And labels suck.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu: I See You<\/h2>\n

Next time you look at\u00a0someone, really\u00a0see them<\/em>\u00a0–\u00a0imagine for a moment they’re as special as a sunset, and treat them accordingly. (I don’t mean take their photo)<\/p>\n

Yes, do it first. You might think they’re acting like a dick, but that’s okay, what have you got to lose? \u00a0This isn’t about how they feel just yet, but how you feel.<\/p>\n

I need to do the very same.<\/p>\n

I’m a sunset too.<\/p>\n
