Embracing people of other cultures

Good advice from my friend, Joseph Thompson:

The true essence of transforming a people is by embracing their culture not deriding it. If you really want to understand why people are passionate about the things they are, you must immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and smells that so enrich their culture.

You can’t truly understand a people simply by reading a book about them because the “single story” never truly defines a people in all of their complexities. Enrich your story by traveling to a country you’ve never been to before and experience the nuances of their culture. Your life will forever be enriched because you do!
