Diversity is Not What Makes Us

I noticed a group of people downtown last week, all wearing brightly coloured tee shirts with a slogan printed on the front. The slogan was "Diversity is what makes us!"  

I thought about that for awhile.  I don't think it is diversity that "makes us".  There can be great disagreement and warring factions among the "diverse".  

What "makes us" in my opinion is "harmony".  Harmony implies diversity.  Harmony instantly points to the diverse getting along, being able to work together in spite of difference.  

Yes....I believe it is more accurate to say that "Harmony is what makes us". 

Just my own little thought for the day.
