Day 235 of wisdom
“When a hundred men stand together, each of them loses his mind and gets another one.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Diversity when properly harnessed is strength. Every human being is different, special, and unique in their own way, but the differences, specialties, uniqueness is for the general good, and growth of the human race. George R.R. Martin said, "Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle." though we may be different we are all for one purpose, we are all to build a better world, we are here to lift ourselves, and become the best we could ever be for ourselves.
It was Petrarch that said, "Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure." a group of people with same mind, same skill, same talent, same thought pattern are a people of stunted progress, but when there is variety there is progress. Unity only comes from a people of diversity, a people of different ideas, and background, oneness is more appreciated in an heterogeneous community, an homogeneous does not know the true value of unity.
In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the beauty and the test of our civilisation." when we come together in our diversity we create a world of beauty, we show our strength, and glorify our essence. In a united community the whole is as strong, and weak as one man, and one man is as strong, and weak as the whole. When a man loses strength he is strengthened by the other, and everyone remains strong at all times.
Someone once said, "if you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to far, go with people" no one can succeed in isolation, a tree cannot make a forest, we become better only through the people in our life. Our being is a summation of everyone around us, so, the quality of people around us determines the quality of our life. We should learn to live not just for ourselves, but for the good of all of us.
