I have always, always been a spearhead of highlighting differences between people and celebrating those differences. I have always believed that the problem in the global mainstream mindset, is the propaganda to imagine that we are all the same. This suggestion is taught to children in schools, in clubs, organisations, and generally just as popular thought for everyone. But it is a lie. We are all so different from one another, that even twin siblings have differences between them. How much more the peoples of different races and cultures, different lands and colours! If you are black then you are black and if you are white then you are white and black and white— no, they are not the same. Jews and Christians are not the same. Christians and Muslims are not the same. Hindus and Zoroastrians are not the same. A red head and a blonde have hair of different colouring! Yet this veil is pulled over our eyes and we are all raised by society into thinking that we are good people only if we imagine away our differences. But this is a lie and this is wrong and this is why we cannot tolerate any differences— because when someone is different when we are expecting them to be the same as us— we either laugh at them or we distance ourselves from them. And in worst case scenarios— we murder them! There are all sorts of problems that arise, from all sorts of angles, due to the expectation of sameness. It is the celebration of differences that should be cultivated, because this is the way things are, this is the truth! We are all never going to be the same and we should be curious and felicitous towards these many, many differences. We should greet each other expecting each other to be different, and rejoicing even more when we find out the many small reasons that we are still the same, despite being different.
