When I entered the army in 1966 I was cautious being around others that did not look, talk and believe as I did. I was raised to believe that the world was guided by caucasion Christian Men. Women worked to serve their man, children were to be seen and not heard and so on. I have friends back home that still hold close to these beliefs.
After 22 years in the Army and living all over the world, my open mind became so aware of how wrong my young teachings were. I now have a full life without the restrictions that those old prejudices about races, sexual orientation and faiths bring to the table.
I wish for everyone to open your heart and minds to what is good about others rather than look for ways to shut them out. I found a simplified read about how to recognize a closed mind. Read and decide for yourself. There is good all over the world.
