I think the best way to love someone who is different from us is to just love them.

I don’t think we need to agree with everything they do

or everything they think

or even how they live.

I don’t think we need to offer advice they don’t ask for

or solutions they’re not seeking.

And I don’t think we need to try and influence them to be more like us.

I believe the more we love each other exactly as we are,

the more we learn

and the more we grow

and the richer and happier we all become.
