It's a Fruit!

I am still amazed about how we still judge others on the differences between each other while no one is the same to any other person on this planet. Almost no one has the right face and what is 'right' anyway? Just think! All the minorities together make the majority in this world which makes the majority (the 'normal' people) the minority. We compare black to white (and scale all that's not white enough to black). We compare male to female (and forget about the people who happen to fall inbetween). We compare poor to rich (while most people fall right inbetween). We compare abled to disabled (and scale, once again, all that's not abled enough to disabled). We compare ordered to disordered (while a lot of the so-called disordered happen to be not that disordered). We compare smart to dumb (while the smart people are often not always that smart). And so on...

And still we tell each other not to compare apples to peers. Yeah, you know what, it's all fruit! It doesn't make the apple better than the peer or the other way around. It just makes another kind of fruit with their own taste, feel and look to it.

I just don't understand.
