In this day and age, our world seems divided. Left vs right, dark vs light, nation vs nation, tribe vs tribe, everything vs everything else.
I have found, in my travels to other countries, in my conversations with people from other cultures, even in eating different types of ethnic food that there are far more similarities than differences.
World leaders and media entertainment outlets, including social media platforms, strive to further the divide between peoples and opinions.
There's been a lot in the news and in financial circles about the differences, and the similarities, between Bitcoin and other digital tokens and currency.
The media has done much toward underlining the difference between traditional investing and crypto investing. And there are a lot of differences. But there are MORE similarities.
I could highlight the divides between religious communities and even within reach religion. But I don't want to do that.
Instead, I want to highlight our similarities.
We all bleed the same color. We all feel the same emotions. We all have the same intrinsic needs.
We all have families, whether birth families or found families, whom we love and hate and celebrate and fight with.
We all need food and shelter, clean water, and something to keep us occupied whether for fun or for money.
For this week's writing prompt #3: similarities, I want you to think of all the things we have in common with each other.
Let's focus on the things we share rather than the things that separate us from each other.
The rules are as follows:
Write anything about similarities
Write 100% original content
Write at least 600 words

Have fun
These writing prompts are for YOU. They will be here forever. You may write them for however long you like. There is no time limit. You can even write about the same one more than once. It would be best not to have the same title, though.
I apologize for the lateness of this prompt. And for its brevity. It's what I've got for now.
Oh. One last thing. Feel free to write in your own language if you feel more comfortable doing so.

The photo with her friend sitting on the floor, made me pause for a moment.
I thought it was a mirror, yes they look alike.
I like theme 3 of the initiative, look for simitides, we focus so much on being different and distinct that we get away from what unites us. Thanks for the writing idea.
