Tout le monde!

Gravel, Elise.


Traduction de: Everybody! Petits ou grands, jeunes ou âgés, nous sommes tous uniques! Mais nous sommes aussi tous les mêmes, car nous sommes unis par les émotions que nous ressentons. Tout le monde a des moments de joie, de tristesse ou de peur. Tout le monde fait des erreurs, se sent fatigué ou a besoin d’aide de temps en temps. Même si nous sommes tous différents, nous sommes en réalité plus similaires que nous ne voulons bien l’admettre. Le plus important, c’est que nous devons tous être acceptés comme nous sommes.
