In A Turn Of Events

With so many uncertainties surrounding our every day lives, can you imagine a world without stories to share? Stories of success, failure; the valleys of pain and the peaks of elation? What if we didn't have access to extraordinary things others have accomplished, or the adversities they overcame along the way? I want to inspire people to embrace a broader spectrum of pain and joy, and live their lives to the fullest potential. Through amazing stories, unique interviews, and inspired insights, we will find ourselves, and tap into an entirely different plane of living, all while sharing every step of the way with you.

Life By Analogy: Blood Type

August 28, 2020 • Ryan West • Season 1 • Episode 41

When my son was born a few months ago, the nurse came in to review his blood type with us, and I had a moment of realization, and/or thankfulness that such a trivial difference isn't a reason to treat him differently than myself, or my wife, or my daughter.

It made me think with a different perspective. I imagined what it would be like if they came in the room and said my son would have a different level of opportunity, or would be treated differently than his sister because they were different blood types. Or that he would be treated differently in school because he acquired a certain type.

Skin color is just as trivial. The divide and friction caused by something that shouldn't even be a topic of discussion is astonishing.

It is not someone's choice how they are born. What color skin, what blood type.

It is, however, a choice how they will treat others.
