The take away is a desperately needed message that we're all the same on the inside no matter your sex, age, religion, walk of life, or how we choose to express and identify ourselves. It's time to break the cycle of oppression, bigotry, violence, racism, ageism, sexism, misogyny, etc. and intuitively realize that acceptance, love, and tolerance are essential, crucial, adamant in order to prevent the extinction of our civilization as it exists.

It may be a simple premise and yet something we must be reminded of every single moment to keep from spinning on the merry go round in endless circles of hatred and abuse. "Come on people now smile on your brother everybody get together try to love one another right now."
