Eyes focused Close to the Cage

I am learning much needed information on how humanity has become. Humanity has created a class system that targets certain groups by labeling and oppressing them without any regard to whom the individuals or groups are. What I found interesting were the different levels of oppression that operates within humanity. It reminded me of the illustration of the bird in the cage. Holding the bird cage close to your eyes gives an allusion that the bird is not captured with in the cage, but has an ability to fly freely. As you pull the bird cage away you begin to view the birds ability and mobility in a new perspective because your looking from a distance, That what i am going through with these terms of race, class, and targets.

I feel uneasy on the actual fact that discrimination, oppression, and social group system makes up our humanity. Not that I am naive to the fact that it does exist, but that humanity has truly decided to keep their eyes view close to the cage rather then distancing themselves from this malice and view others in a proper manner. I personally think that this pulls away from the core values of why we are living. I intend to continue to learn and focus on the different aspects of humanity and am willing to make a change.
