Imagine a life where nothing changed. Everyone would wear the same white polo shirt and khaki pants. Everyone would drive a Camry. We would all eat cold turkey. Ethnicity wouldn't exist. We would all believe in the same religious faith. No one would break any rules, and would live by said rules. There would be one political party. Music and art wouldn't even be conceivable. No one would dare to be different. What I have just described is a world of monotony. Thank God or Krishnah or whatever you warship, or don't warship, that we have such colorful flavors such as the Mexican or Mediterranean foods. Or the melodic compositions of South-America. And no one can forget the artistry of Europe.
But what do we need to sacrifice in order to keep these lavish privileges. Banishment? Death? Social suicide? Cutting off your ear? Imagine a world of peace. No news, no controversy or ambition for discovering. News casters would be out of a jobs. Drama series would loose inspiration. Everyone would get along. We would be back at square one. Monotony. What makes us different is a good thing. Whether it be race or culture. Music or art. Language or fashion. Religion or wealth. Difference in this world makes it our world. What would you rather have? Peace and quiet, or war and expression.
