Heritage Day
Today is Heritage Day in Alberta. A holiday created to celebrate and acknowledge the heritage of this province. It got me thinking about my heritage. Then got me thinking about how far back can I trace my heritage. If I want, I can trace my heritage way back to the same place as everyone reading this. Certain scientist have agreed all humanity can trace its ancestory back to a common ancestor.
This means we are all connected. Everyone is my brother or sister.
If everyone is my relative, it is my job to care about them.
Let's not ignore those in need around us, regardless of race, social status or religious association. We are all undeniably connected and related. What would happen if every human being adopted the attitude that we are all family, regardless of the differences between people? I suspect there would be a whole lot less hate, division and even murder.
We're connected, we're family and we need each other. That's our heritage.
