I think we move on in our life without realizing these differences, because somewhere we enjoy them as we connect with the people... even though they are different from us... I think differences are necessary else everything would be quite dull... Celebrating them is what would bring a smile of our faces...

It's vivid, engaging, and you convey your point without making it sound like yet another wordy, academic argument.<BR/><BR/>Your post reminds me a little bit of a lot of foreign students on the campus. For many of them staying with their own national/regional groups is a matter of security, which is understandable, and they are probably celebrating differences within such groups as well. But a campus, particularly one in the US, is larger than that given that even a relatively small campus like ours has students from approximately 190 countries. If only it was physically possible for all of us to be able to reach out to each other in every such group and learn something of value from every interaction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00870537073752828309noreply@blogger.com
