PRECIOUS AND UNIQUE
Samuel Thadeus Short
“Every grain of dust has a wonderful soul.”
— Joan Miro
Human beings have been known to act toward other people as though they were things, objects instead of subjects like themselves. Men sometimes act this way toward women; parents toward children, the young toward the old. We must guard against this tendency among ourselves which is literally disrespect for the individual and is always dangerous.
Each human is a unique and precious being. It injures the spirit to forget that even for a moment. And when we remember it, we are able to act in concert with our self respecting humans. In respecting ourselves fully, we show others how to treat us, and as we treat them respectfully we acknowledge and enhance humanity.
The quality of human interactions can be so wonderful; why should we deface it by forgetting the uniqueness of others?

EXPANDING CONSCIOUSNESS
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
I have a friend coming by today who loves the word unique as much as I do. It made me feel like a somebody, no longer a nobody, someone who has purpose and a reason for being because no one else has walked in my shoes, has been and done what I had to do to get here. We all walk different journey, we are unique in our experiences, but not unique in our disease.
