Without a belief in human unity I am hungry and incomplete. Human unity is the fulfillment of diversity. It is the harmony of opposites. It is a many-stranded texture, with color and depth.” ~ Norman Cousins (1915-1990) Faith , Freedom , God , Liberty , Religion , Rights , Tolerance , Virtue Ratings and Comments 1Reply Mike, Norwalk 12/29/23 OK, that's nice — I guess one man's ideology. 2Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 12/29/23 A specific diversity example is the rejection of superstition which God is an example. Harmony is not oppositional, but complimentary. For the last sentence it appears, sorry, some dazzle. Human unity is the recognition that Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create. 1Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 12/31/23 A young lady understands a gentleman is not her opposite, but her compliment. And also, Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create. Reply Mike, Norwalk Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 1/1/24 Sillik, the silly child without a dictionary (that is ok because he is happy rambling incoherently). Sillik's oxymoron word salad doesn't make sense as usual. In the real world of adults; "diversity" is a quality or condition of mixing or an assorted manifold; — rejecting the substance thereof (or any element thereof) is contradictory. I ask what is a man; — AND, as typical Sillik can't answer but, moves on to describe an androgynous something that IS / is NOT: diverse, harmonious, oppositional and complimentary all at the same time. ;-) hmmmm, cant fix or communicate with stupid.
