Does
Love
Have A
Race?
Thought I’d throw that into the mix. There is too
much negative emphasis on colors and cultures, rather than on who we
really are as people. I know of many interracial couples who are
happily married. Every married couple has to work out differences. I
think that being of a different race adds that extra taste of
seasoning.
Love
is Love - It Does Not Matter If the Other Person
is From Another Culture
By Paul Vann
Wake up people of
the world, we are over six billion in
population thus we need to learn how to love one another. In a world of
6.8 billion people the likelihood of you meeting someone from another
culture is very high.
It is not
surprising to see more and more people from
different cultures date and ultimately get married. Look at America,
the melting pot of the world with over 309 million people and counting.
At some point in the near future, most of the couples will be
multicultural.
Besides, what is
wrong with a person from Asia marrying
a person from America? The only problem I see is that should probably
get married sooner. Let us face it, love knows no culture, ethnicity or
color.
If God did not want
people from different cultures to
date and or get married, he would not have created them. Far too many
people place too much value on culture, color, ethnicity so much so,
that they miss out on the value diversity offers.
I had a friend tell
me, "I do not know why someone would
marry a person outside their race." What kind of statement was that? I
will tell you what kind of statement it was, it was ignorant. Genetic
studies reveal and population and archeology inform us, civilization
has been around for eight million years.
People from
different cultures have always interacted,
had relationships and some have married. If people were involved in
cross cultural relationships millions of years ago, why would it be any
different today?
The fact of the
matter is, relationships today are the
same as they were millions of years ago. Humanity has experienced a few
upgrades in terms of movement and or traveling to different countries,
but for the most part it has not changed that much.
Love is love, no
matter what culture another person
happens to be from. Love can be elusive, love can be confusing, however
when you find the love of your life, I recommend you hold onto it. Love
can be fleeting and if you decide not to have a relationship with a
person because they are from a different culture, you are going to miss
out on something meant for you.
At times our world
is filled with hatred, wars and
rumors of wars and what keeps everything in perspective is love. When
two people from different cultures can become friends and then decide
to marry to develop their love even deeper, the world truly becomes a
much better place with tolerance and understanding.
