All People Are Created Equal

And should be treated that way.

All People Are Created Equal

This week, following the inauguration of Donald Trump, started the Women’s Movement. This movement stands for womanhood, equality, LGBTQ rights, and minority groups facing discrimination.

I am a Christian. I sometimes do not agree with people on controversial topics, but one thing I pray we can all agree on is it is good to be kind.

Seeing the women’s movement this weekend was something I did not believe I would see in a lifetime. Although I did not always like what I saw.

At first, I thought it was women feeling empowered to stand for what they believed in. I saw something very different when I looked on social media. People claiming, they want ALL people to be treated equal, but treating OUR PRESIDENT like scum. Even stooping so low to comparing President Trump to Hitler.

In his Inaugural address, Donald Trump said:

“When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us, ‘How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.’

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.”

He spoke to not being prejudice (which includes LGBTQ people, races, religions, and gender), he spoke to living together in unity and spoke to being open minded and keeping the peace. And yet, he was still accused of fighting against all of this.

Women, stand together in love for your beliefs. Do not name call, because that means you lose automatically. If you truly believe ALL people are equal, then believe President Trump should be treated equally. No, he is not perfect. Yes, he has made many mistakes, but he is still your president. Treat him with the respect of his title even if you disagree with his politics.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
