Why are we here? Do you appreciate our differences?

**Warning, may be a tad sappy, I do have that tendency at times** Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. It always has been. A world without books would, to me, be a very sad place. We can learn so much from books and enjoy the read at the same time. I never tire of them. But...today I was thinking on a few posts that were put up in here, and reading through them, doing some thinking. Most of us have never met in person. We only know the person posting from their myLot posts, although I do know some of us are on each other's facebook pages, Instagram, twitter (aka-X). And a few of us have met in person. I think we learn a lot from each other here, without even realizing we do that. Things I've learned from being on myLot? I've been thinking about this~~ There are people here from all over the world, every race, many countries. Many of us have very different lives, and we realize it even more as we get to know each other. Different upbringing, customs, clothing, foods. Different types of jobs, different family dynamics. But yet, here we are, a huge group of wildly different people, yet alike in that we enjoy getting to know each other. We have people who seem happy with their lot in life, and people who are unhappy. We have people who seem affluent, and people who have very little. We have happy people and depressed people, some are teasing, some sarcastic, some religious, and some not. In other words, I guess we have people here from all walks of life. If we don't agree, we have the option to avoid the topic, or try to explain why we don't. I like to think that everyone who posts tries to contribute, to share their days and experiences, and maybe in the end, learn something from each other. We're never too old to learn, at least, I don't think we are! *If the picture shows up, it's from Pixabay*
