Just think if we were all the same.
Pick a color of choice and all of us would be that shade.
Pick a color of choice and all of us would be that shade.
Same height, same weight, same hair color. We would all speak one language and there would only be one accent.
Each one of us would belong to the same religion or better still, there would be no religion. Every person would have equally good education. Every job would pay the same amount of money so we would live in similar homes, drive the same kind of car, eat the same food and wear clothes that looked the same.
No classes of travel and hotels.
There would be no distinguishing features, everyone would have perfect vision and a full head of hair.
Nobody would look old, they would just die at a certain age.
So if there was no religion to cause a drift, no color to distinguish, no fat or skinny people to make fun of, nobody with glasses that kids would tease, nobody stronger or weaker, there would be no rich feeling superior, no poor feeling cheated, words like ‘beautiful’ and ‘handsome’ would have no meaning, nobody was less or more intelligent, no accents to make fun of, no language that was more popular, no country that was richer or poorer, or actually there were no countries and everyone could live wherever they chose to.
If everyone was the same and there was no reason to compare ourselves to anyone causing emotions such as jealousy, would we all live in harmony? Or would hate still sneak into our lives?

What would be left to live for? What would we strive for if we already had everything?
We'd be like robots with nothing to look forward to! Thankfully it's only hypothetical.
Very interesting thought! However, most ecosystem studies show that diversity is necessary for the health of the ecosystem. Monocultures are a no-no. I would extrapolate that to societies too. Diversity is needed for the health of a society too, methinks. And negative emotions are ok as long as one doesn't act on them (which is difficult to expect again - if you expect one to act on positive emotions, then why not on the negative ones?!) Hmmmm...lot of food for thought!
Can you imagine if we and everything around us was the same? We'd all commit suicide and that would be the end of the human race!!
I was reading the comments posted in an article yesterday and there was so much hate and blame in them and it got me thinking as to what it would take for us not to hate each other. Wrote this piece and posted it before giving it much thought!
Life would be very "boring" .. Diversity is what makes us Strong and helps us Grow. I think we must live with Love and Compassion, Accept and be Grateful for what we've got, and ... not waste one Precious moment.
Yes of course it would be terribly dull Carol, if everyone and everything was the same. I wrote this piece at a time when there was a lot of news of racial discrimination and hatred being the cause of crimes.
