bEauty exist not in sameness but differences
Who would imagine a giraffe without a long neck or a cactus without its
picky beauty? The irregularities of the mountain peaks is what makes it so
imposing. If we try to make them all the
same they would no longer command our respect.
Its imperfection in every form that astonishes or attracts us.
The sunset set looks more magnanimous when surrounded by different clouds
and when light from them reflect the diverse colors and dreams of every individual,
it then that we feel the silent pure
rush .
Music subsides and emerges with different chords, irregularity in notes
weave the symphony. The music which caresses your heart, Allow me to make you
believe that these sweet symphonies of its melody also evolve from different elements , not a note similar.
The roaring ocean, its expanses, a panorama of infinite beauty is indeed compelling.
The waves gallop like free horses in meadows, to form the ripples of joy and an
orchestra of euphoria, the difference in its surface is what makes it demand the
appraisal.
Think about every small object your surrounded with, they are forms of
different creations, different people with different constructive ways of
putting forth their ideas.
What makes you appreciate them, the vastness of its diversity or the constrain
of its use . We all know the former is what we crave for, we appreciate the differences.
Sometimes we to try and scale down
the individuality in us because we feel we do not conform to the idea of being
normal to someone else. Its complete
injustice that we do to our self in away
.
Just the way life has many corners of surprises, they wait to be cast off
one day .The wait will never be too long , so do not fall with a broken hope
because each day comes to us with a different story to reveal, don’t hold back
with the fear of being revealed to something new , remember all of us
unconsciously crave for that imperfect soul , because deep within we all are
imperfectly perfect .
This article gives an excellent insight on the benefits of diversity especially the goodness it brings to the environment we all reside in.
ReplyDeleteOne of the benefits diversity brings is that it makes you more open-minded. It expands limits of your acceptance. It makes you to look at things or people from different perspectives.
I would like to give you an example of myself. Having lived my entire life outside my native country of India, I had the honor and pleasure of working with a diverse set of people from my school/university days (Alhamdollilah).
I interacted with people from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Britain, USA, Mexico, Algeria, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Nigeria, Philippines, and Indonesia, to name a few.
Working with these people changed the way I viewed them. It made me appreciate what they did, made me more tolerable and made me more accepting.
Its a lovely article. I would like to conclude my reply with two quotes:
“It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.”
― Maya Angelou
“Strength lies in differences, not in similarities”
― Stephen R. Covey
modernism isn't too far away in the corner :)
ReplyDeletepeople have realized diversity is the desperate need of the hour !
Diversity is definitely the need of the hour!:)
ReplyDeleteIt's easier to "achieve" diversity now as compared to, say, 15-20 yrs back.
The world is connected i.e. its known as the Global Village. Technology is one of the main facilitator in bringing different people together so that they can know each other.
I like to quote a verse from the Holy Quran on this issue:
"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." Al-Hujurat [Chapter 49, Verse 13, Translation by Yusuf Ali]
ergo we must celebrate the qualities we individually posses :) rather than try and fit in too be acceptable , and masrur bhai thanks for sharing ur thoughts too :) appreciated
