The Colours of the World.

After talking to a lovely couple ,she being asian and himself being white anglo saxon of british stock I felt that the times are ever so changing. A habit of mine is too read the New York Times and go through every section and then by curiousity I stop to look at the Wedding section. It is interesting to see that we as a people are gravitating towards more diversity as the world seems to be on each one of our doorsteps. The intermingling of cultures and ethnicity are becoming blurred. As I think back to my dating days I can remark that I was seeing different peoples of a cross section like a handmade quilt. This is most reassuring to see that we have as people have become less conscious about how love is meant to be sameness. Today less people stare at a racially mixed couple than only a few years ago. We as a society are more learned about the richness of difference and have embraced this newfound fabric of society. I for one believe that these changes are strong symbols that announce that we are breaking down barriers of culture and customs. This I feel is most positive as what is more stronger than a professed love for your loved one no matter where they are from or their beliefs. This message tells us that feelings for each other is far more powerful than rules of conformity. When I see people together of different stripes I break out often in a smile to acknowledge that how pleasing it is to see love conquring all. The evolution of mankind is contributing to paint a beautiful tapestry with the colours of the World.
