Mind Yourselves

Talyssa plucked a seemingly insignificant weed from the snow and held it up for all to see. "Much like how you cannot judge a herb's worth by its outer beauty, we must not judge others by their outward appearances or immediate impressions. I challenge you all to keep an open mind, for that is the only way we can truly understand and respect one another." It seemed like it might be a simple point, but one that should go without being said.

She dropped the weed back into the snow, its tender green leaves offering a stark contrast against the white blanket. Her eyes, now soft and warm, held a profound wisdom that belied her youthful appearance. "We are all different, each one of us," she continued, her voice steady and filled with conviction. "Just like these plants around us, we each have our own strengths and flaws. Some of us may seem mundane, almost negligible. Others might appear grand and unforgettable. But that does not define who we truly are or what we can do." It was a topic she was passionate about, and one that she had no problem giving a detailed explanation on.
