Ye s , w e m a y w e a r d i f f e r e n t c l o t h e s a n d s p e a k d i f f e r e n t l a n-
guages and have different customs, but we all fall in love, all
want someone to hold and hug, to have a family, to be happy
and successful, not to be afraid of the dark, to live a long time,
die a good death, to be attractive and not to get fat, old, or
sick. What does it matter if we wear a suit, a sari, or a grass
skirt if deep down we all cry when we are hurt, we laugh
when we are joyful, and our stomachs rumble when we are
hungry? The veneer can be wiped away in a second, and then
we are all the same, all quite lovely and quite, quite human.
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN US IS
SO VERY LITTLE WHEN YOU
WIPE AWAY THE VENEER
WE ALL WEAR.
