    I love diversity.

    How very boreing it is if everyone is the same. If everyone thinks the same, acts the same, talks the same, looks the same. This to me is extremely boreing.

    The fact that human beings are so very different is what makes them so very fascinating.

    True seekers of truth and wisdom know that they must keep an open mind.

    Pre-consived ideas get in the way for the seekers of truth. For ideas to flow creatively an open mind is necessary.

    To discuss ideas itelligently, respect for the views of others is necessary. Those who are highly judgemental and critical are unable to see any other point of view but their own. They are blind to the magnitude of possibilities that exist.

    All art is good. There is no bad art. Yet the art of stimulating coversation is rare and hard to find. Perhaps in our modern age this is now a lost art.
