Belonging is beautiful, when rooted in rightousness

“Where Are You From?”

The question itself isn’t wrong, but what often follows it is. It becomes a shortcut to judge, label, and assume based on stereotypes or past stories that don’t reflect the individual in front of us.

How many kind hearts or brilliant minds have we overlooked simply because they didn’t “resemble us”? And how often did support come from strangers, while trouble came from our own?

Belonging is beautiful, when rooted in rightousness, not arrogance or exclusion. But a person is more than a tribe, color, or passport. We are made of spirit, thought, and character, too deep for labels.

Let’s remember:

The mind has no nationality.

Morality has no sect.

And nobility knows no borders.

See people through humanity, not identity.
