Today you may feel an acceptance for the world's many expressions and different cultural values. Instead of balking at the sight of someone acting differently than you would, you may feel tolerant and perhaps even have the desire for greater understanding. This open-minded approach could help you gain insight into new ways of thinking about the world we share. Gaining a fresh perspective may be just what you need to reach a deeper understanding of concepts you already knew. Having something explained from a different angle may fill in gaps in your awareness to give you a complete picture. Today your understanding and tolerance of others not only brings you inner peace but worldly wisdom.

The material world is the universe in expression. We see a wondrous variety of plants and animals, insects and terrain, and humans are no different. When we can embrace the diversity of the world's people, we can learn more about what it means to be human. We can learn how our social structures, art, and philosophy reflect our various environments and understanding of the world. We can see how adaptable we are, and despite outer differences, how much we are the same inside. If we begin by seeing the similarities, perhaps it would be easier to accept the differences. Today, by moving beyond your comfort zone to bridge a gap between cultures, you show others that it is possible for all of us to be one big family of humanity, sharing our planet in peace.
