Diverse –adjective – showing a great deal of variety; very different.
Irrespective of the place in the world. Irrespective of the cultures. Irrespective of the economic backgrounds. There is one unit which always houses people of varied and diverse natures. It is the FAMILY.
Unique people, oft diametrically opposite to each other, opinions which do not even match, mindsets which are contradictory – yet they find a common ground to walk the path together. Of course those born into such units may not have the choice to be part of such groups i.e. family but they are different from the originals as well.
The cohesiveness of such units is possible only when each who is part of this decides and agrees to respect, understand and adjust in every possible way to the other member. The happiness in such units is dependent on how much you are willing to let go. How much you are willing to draw a line at. How much are you wanting to sacrifice and at what cost.
That shall determine the length of duration of family as a unit and also the happiness within.

Diversity helps in bringing in variety. When we have a mixture of different cultures in a hot pot cauldron of multiplicity, then is born a NATION. Our country has this in abundance. From festivals, to places, to cuisines, to handicrafts. It brings in the unique flavor of an array of amazing essence and lends character to the fabric of the country.

The assortment of multifaceted people in our lives through friends add that extra zing to our days on this planet earth. Their range of emotions, opinions and thoughts helps us shape ours and aids in our journey because then we can be who we are – as real can be.

I celebrate everything which is different and diverse around me.

It comes from being benevolent and forgiving, caring and non-judgmental, having a mindset which encourages and supports uniqueness like this colossal tree in The Kings Park Botanical garden which helps nurture the abundantly unique flora beneath.
