Olives, Nose Rings & Brussel Sprouts

I use to wish everyone I'd see…would think and act exactly like me. I imagined, if everyone thought like me, what a wonderful, wonderful world this would be. Then I met people who were crazy about …olives, nose rings and Brussel sprouts. Three things I hated...but I soon found out I could like these people even with my doubts. Then I met people who didn't share my views, people of varying religions and hues. And perhaps you can guess what next ensues... Yes...these are the friendships now I choose. Because now I know everyone I see…need not think and act like me. Because all these people who are different from me…makes this the most wonderful world it can be. It seems my life has done a complete turnabout. I've worked through my apprehensions and my doubts... Well most of them anyway, because I can still do without... Olives, nose rings...and Brussel Sprouts.
