Diversity - a unifying force
This book is about how to change the world; one small “act of kindness” at time. Each small act of kindness can have a ripple effect. When aligned with other small acts they can create a “tsunami of change.”
The average number of human encounters we individually have between ages 20 and 60 is staggering; approximately 730,000. Each of these encounters can be an opportunity for the experience of transformation. If most of us were conscious “agents of change,” we would have changed the world by now. So I am inviting us all to become conscious agents of change by using our everyday network of relationships to do kind acts in behalf of ourselves and others. Our network units probably begin with family members and extend to the workplace, to close friends, to religious associations, to those we serve, to clubs or societies to which we belong, and so on. We encounter some of the people in our network several or many times a day. Each of these encounters is an opportunity to transform our relationships to greater human compatibility.
Essence of Diversity
The greatest challenge we face in creating compatible relationships is our ability to respect and accept the differences in people. This is the essence of diversity. Achieving diversity sets the stage for unity. The important realization is that no “great” leader is going to change our lives. A great leader may be inspirational and supportive, but he or she does not have the power to transform a society. We are responsible and accountable for the conditions of our lives—and the society we have created. This book provides a simple way to go about creating the quality of relationships we desire. In doing so, we transform the quality of our own lives as well as the condition of the world. The natural result is unity. In unity, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome or objective that cannot be achieved. The obstacles we face are simply tests of the human spirit—and the human spirit is unlimited in its power to create the kind of world we all desire.
