We want to raise our children so that they can take a sense of pleasure in both their own heritage and the diversity of others.

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

Most of us, I believe, admire strength. It's something we tend to respect in others, desire for ourselves, and wish for our children. Sometimes, though, I wonder if we confuse strength with other words—like 'aggression' and even 'violence'. Real strength is neither male nor female; but it is, quite simply, one of the finest characteristics that a human being can possess.
