We Can Be Different|ما می توانیم متفاوت باشیم


“194th story”

First published: June.10.2021

People are truly different from each other;

-Some lock themselves in a room when the sky of their life becomes cloudy….

Silence, time, and loneliness are their only cure.

-Some like to be in a crowd. They like to laugh loud so they won’t hear their pain and problems. Not that they are careless, not at all, but their cure is this way.

-Some people scream their love for others, shout their pains and sadness. They are scared, and screech for help.

-Some pour everything inside them. If you dig deep inside them you won’t hear a word out of their mouth, everything spins in their minds, and even if he or she is exploding out of problems, still won’t speak. Their thoughts are full of anxiety and blues. They are not dry or have a lack of feeling, they are just different.

-Some if fail a thousand times, would start all over again and never give up. They are more patient and have extremely high hopes.

-Some can’t even take the smallest problem; it breaks them into pieces and never can glue them back together. They give up on the first problematic situation. Not that they are weak, no, they are just different.

-Some can start a family in their 20s, but some can put it together in their 30s, or even 40s. Not that it’s too late or early, but they think differently.

-Some find their happiness in dancing, singing, and hiking, …..others in praying. None of it is wrong, but everyone reaches happiness in their spirit, in a different way.

All of these were just to remind us,

If people around us think or act differently, their beliefs are dissimilar to ours, and their priorities in life are something that seems nonsense to us, don’t dress like us, …..

That doesn’t mean they are bad people, no; they are just different.

This is the simplest way to understand each other, respect, and love one another. And STOP THE RACISM.

Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.

  3. Yes, I really would be that simple…
    Best wishes, dear Laleh, and stay safe. <3

  4. Just because some people are different doesn’t mean that they are bad. They’re unique and special in their own way. Great post, Laleh

  5. Beautiful subject to be mentioned, thank you for posting it.

  6. What a great piece! Thank you Laleh for sharing. I couldn’t agree more. We are all uniquely different in a beautiful way.

  7. More pertinent each day. Thank you Laleh.

  8. Great post and great message🙏

  9. Yes everyone is unique, great post Laleh❣️.

  10. This is an important message. Kindness to one another and an end to racism and intolerance is so important.

  11. What a lovely message of equity in world of divisions.

  12. I loved this wonderful reminder that it is OKAY to be who we are. We are all different and need to be accepting of this.

    For myself, it took me a while to understand that it’s alright that others think, act, do life differently than I do. In fact, it is perfect! If we all did the same and thought the same, it would be a boring world.
    Thank you, Laleh!! Hugz

  13. Profound. Thankfully, God meets us wherever we are. <3

  14. This is an excellent blog post, Laleh! You’ve taken simple terms and images and woven them together into a lovely tapestry of how diverse and beautiful life is here on Earth. We are all different, but we are all the same. Yes! We all need to do everything and anything we can to STOP THE RACISM! Racism is preventing us from being all that we can be. Beautiful blog post, Laleh. Thank you for putting your thoughts into words for each of us to read and take to heart.

  15. Yes! So true! I love this one, Laleh!

  16. Nice way to present diversity on a deeper level.

  17. It would be boring if all of us are the same, don’t you think 😛 But well… many people can’t accept that.

  18. Indeed! It is really as simple as that. Each one of us is different. We need to accept the way we are, and the way others are.

  19. La diversità è un arricchimento della società, la diversità va rispettata e accetata.

  20. This is very true.

  21. A wonderful story and reminder Laleh!!!!💗

  22. Let’s find political leaders then who are willing and able to fully accept all!

  23. Hi Laleh! What a wonderfully delightful and keen observation you’ve made here about all of us Earthlings being different for several/many various reasons—which as you rightly say, doesn’t make them/us “bad people.” Bravo Madame! 🥰

    You have also been a long-time follower of my blog and I truly appreciate your enduring kindness with me and my blog. Hence, I thought I would FINALLY return the favor, after what(?) several years of you following mine? What a terrible WordPress friend I’ve been, huh? 😄🤦‍♂️ I must try harder. 😉

  24. Beautifully put Laleh

  25. Blessings to you Laleh. Indeed, we are intended to be different. From the words of Gene Roddenberry, “The glory of creation is in its diversity.”

  26. lovely story…. peas in a pod are different as well. Great wisdom💕

  27. That’s all right, if only all of us willing to follow these simple rules.
