Our Lives Matter because of what’s inside. There’s so much more than skin and everything else on the outside. I mean, we all feel the same emotions – pain, guilt, fear, love, joy, anger. They may come in different forms and circumstances, but they come, and no one is ostracized from feeling each of those emotions in their lifetimes. Yes, we may see things differently because of our different experiences but we all experience the same emotions. We all have red blood, a nervous system, a respiratory system, a digestive system, and a heart that cues life and death through its beats and a soul that we cannot hear or see. My point is, our lives matter because we’re equal despite our differences, and we’re the only form of life as we know it in an incomprehensibly huge universe. In other words, we only have each other, the human race.
