Racism in Human Lives

Once my father said "The world is not running by the laws written on paper, it runs by people". I was not able to understand what he meant by that. Did he mean that individuals are greater than laws of the society? Applying his quote to racism makes a lot more sense. Governments may establish tons of laws and spend millions to prevent racism. But as long as we cannot change what people have in their minds, all the efforts would be for nothing. How do we change people's opinions? The role of education is vast to prevent racism. We need to show people that there is nothing to fear to live with different colors, cultures and opinions. People may have caused racism by world wars. But that doesn't mean that we have to do the same mistake that they did in the history. Because racism is against both religion and science. In both point of views, we all came from the same place.

There was a time when all of our names were "baby". Then some of us named after Jesus, some of us Muhhammed, some of us Moses. We were all at the beginning of our lives. Some of us were white, some of us were black, and some of us were yellow. They feed us all the same way. We were so happy. Then we grew up, we became short, tall or blonde. They did not call us "baby" anymore. They tried to manipulate our thoughts. They told us to give a birth or go to war. People murdered us if we weren't looking a like. Like the color is more important than lives of human being. They said we are all equal, but they did not treat us like we were. Do not get confused, this planet is strange and not fair. But we as "babies" smiled all the time. Because we knew that when the time comes, they all going to call us just "HUMAN".
