It's been said birds of a feather flock together, but the fact is, some pretty incredible friendships have been forged between individuals who seem to have absolutely nothing in common.  This amazing video is evidence of that fact.

Watching these animals form  unlikely bonds makes me think about human relationships. We tend to bond with those who are "like" us, talk like us, act like us, etc. But, maybe we ought to step outside of our comfortable box and open up ourselves up to something outside of the ordinary.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter if there are differences in the color of our skin, the language that we speak, the clothes that we wear, the political party we affiliate with, how much money is in our pocket,  or the religion we choose to practice. The one thing we all have in common is the need to be loved and the ability to give love. We just want friendship -  to be loved, accepted, shown kindness, and respected, not judged and discounted because of preconceived notions and cultural stereotypes.

The friendship and kindness demonstrated by the animals in this video are a lesson for us all.
