Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or non-believing, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal.

Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones. We all experience pain when we suffer loss and joy when we achieve what we seek.
