In a society where differences are recognized and celebrated, our experience of community is an experience of collective difference.
In a society where samenesses are recognized and celebrated, our experience of community is an experience of collective sameness.
In a society that celebrates differences, everyone being different is a given. No one pops out. All are included.
In a society that celebrates sameness, everyone being the same is a given. The differences pop out. Some are centered. Some are different.
What type of society do you live in? What type of society would you like to live in?
Do you take comfort in sameness? Do you take comfort in difference?
Do our differences connect us or divide us?
This is all worthy of consideration.
