Accepting Differences


Humorist Mark Twain noticed intolerance in the religious communities of his day.  He once said that he built a cage and put a cat and a dog in it. After a while they learned to get along. Then he added a bird, a goat and a pig. After some adjustments, they too got along. Then he added a Baptist, a Presbyterian and a Catholic. Soon there was nothing left alive in the cage.”

Is it really that hard to accept differences?

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
