SPOTLIGHTING THE DYNAMIC OF HUMANKIND
Relative Humanity was born out of a desire to see a better world, where we as humans are capable of coexisting peacefully and respectfully despite our differences. We believe that as humans we all have the same core beliefs. We all want to be healthy, happy, loved, respected and feel safe to be who we are. It is our individuality that makes our world so incredibly unique and versatile. It’s our differences that make our world interesting and dynamic. As we walk through life, every day we encounter the immense beauty of our colorful world. Imagine what a drab and uninviting place the world would be if we were void of the diversity of color and character that each being has to offer?
rel·a·tive /ˈrelədiv/
adjective 1. considered in relation or in proportion to being 100% human friendly.
We encourage you to ask yourself:
How do I relate to those around me?
How do I interact with those I encounter everyday?
Do I believe that all humans should be seen equally?
What is my environmental impact?
Are you 100% human Friendly?
Everyone’s experience is completely unique. What you relate to and engage with is completely different to that of the person sitting or standing next to you. Our mission is to spotlight that dynamic. To celebrate our differences, our colors, our cultures. To know that the ideas and experiences of others may feel challenging to embrace if we don’t understand them. To create a safe space for everyone to be who they are without fear of prejudice.
We don’t always have to agree, and we don’t always have to like how others live and what they believe, but what we can do is respect each other’s personal choices without prejudice and hate. We can allow each person to have their own experience and still be treated fairly, respectfully, and with equal living rights.
We hope you will join us on this journey. It may feel uncomfortable, confusing and strange at times, but you may also find it surprising, beautiful, engaging and fascinating. We would like you to reframe your perspective and be open to respecting other ways of life that are not your own and find peace, not fear, in those differences.
