Gideon,
Diversity is beautiful. But, I wish that we would not use our differences to separate ourselves.
Though, we have one thing in common .....we are all part of the human race. Unfortunately we forget this and concentrate more on what divides us......nationality, religion, culture, colour, beliefs....
Ah.....to be a united world......where everyone is your brother....sister....where every last soul matters......

Ah.....to be a united world


celebrating diversity isn't what keeps us from being united. In fact, there's even greater concern with the idea of creating a homogenous society without diversity...that starts to smack of the idea of "racial purity". Celebrating diversity is exactly what it says it is, with no further agenda.

John Lennon said it best:

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
