In all-pervading divinity, we put up divisions of "me" on our body, and "not me" to all that outside of us. We then build on that limited entity, using color (culture, skin, lineage, etc.) to define the person as "better" or "worse". But while we can accept that we're not just pretty faces, it's harder to see that we give importance to other superficial aspects as well and overlook our essence. Our personality, values, habits, intellectual achievements, or emotional temperaments is not all that we are.
