The Beauty of Diversity

This is a fantastic note written by my friend Hiba..And it's an honor for me to open my blog with her work.

"Look around. No one is the same as you. Everyone has his own nose, own smile, and even own fingertips. You’re unique. That’s the beauty of being different. How tedious would the world be if it were a collection of clones walking along the earth? How insanely lame would it be if you didn’t have anyone to argue with because everyone thinks the same? We resent diversity sometimes, but it's that variety of people that makes this life worth living. It’s the struggle to understand others’ differences, drawbacks, and strong points that make it a little more appealing than expected. Take plastic surgery for instance. Everyone does it and everyone wants to, but how dull is it seeing lookalikes with the same hair and same face. It’s no more thrilling the pursuit of a beautiful lady; they are all beautiful. God created us different because that’s how it was intended to be. To be special is to be your own self and to do what YOU choose to do. Difference improves us as humans and helps improve the universe. If you look for yourself in other people, you will never be able to find yourself. Those questions about who you are and who you want to be should be answered only by you. You are nobody but yourself, and that is a realization everyone should be born with"

  1. when you read a book, if all the characters were the same you would have thrown the book away from the very first page. Difference is exciting, nothing better than starting to get to know someone else...

    very nicely put. Good note.
