Last year, at Old Town San Diego State Historic Park’s annual Fourth of July celebration, diverse people from our community joined together on stage to read parts of the Declaration of Independence.
People from all walks of life, converging from different places, each with their own unique struggles, ambitions and experiences, remembered some of the enduring principles that underlie a free society.
During the event, anyone in the crowd was invited to come up onto the stage to read, and many did.
Of all the photos I took at the event, the above photograph to me is the most powerful.
Even with all of our human differences–the millions of unique personal beliefs and desires that frequently conflict–there are high ideals that are cherished by one and all.
We all want to live. We all want to be free. We all seek happiness.
Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
Cool San Diego Sights! 
Your photo says so very much. I wish people would not see gender, race, religion, and so on and just see another person. An extension of self and treat as such.

We are all just human beings. We all pop mysteriously into this world, and we’re here a short while. Why not simply follow the Golden Rule. Be kind to one another.
