What makes us different? What makes this group dislike that group, or what makes me feel unable to relate to certain cultures? Is it because our lives are so drastically different, or are we raised to believe we're different? Are humans really that different from one another? Does the food that I eat and the color of my skin really set me on a different level than others? Do we create our own distances from each other, with our countries and politics, or is it something that ultimately is supposed to happen? Is it in our nature to gather a pack mentality against each other?

Do you believe, if there was life on another planet, would Earth stand united if there was war? Would we then consider Earth our "homeland" instead of a certain region of land? Would every culture realize that their differences are minuscule if this was the case? Would Earth join in a more harmonious way of combining cultures if we had to stand united against another planet? Would THEY then be the outcast, or the unrelatable culture?

Boundaries. Most of them imaginary and invisible, yet they keep people drastically apart.

I asked many questions, some rhetorical, some serious thoughts that I've had. No need to answer, consider this a little rant of my thought process . But feel free to discuss.
