Both Our Differences and Our Similarities are Good
"Infinite diversity in infinite combinations". This is a quote from the TV series Star Trek. I do not know if Dr. King ever followed Star Trek, but I think he would have liked this quote. At least to me, this quote is saying diversity is good. We are all different, but those differences can bring progress. It would be boring if we all looked alike and thought alike. It is when someone thinks in a different way that new ideas are born and new ways of doing things are discovered. I am not saying that every new idea or new way of doing things is good. It may not be good for me, but it might be good for someone else. There is nothing wrong with that. We must always remember our similarities, but we can also celebrate our differences, differences that make us both unique and special. If we can all realize it is both our similarities and our differences that make us human, make us grow into better humans, and make us create a better society, a free society where we all can live in peace and prosperity. What a concept!
