Do you think it's possible ... to create a world where diversity is embraced as a strength ?
How would you go about that ? | |

Follow a very simple and old adage:
"do to others as you would have done to you" | |

I believe so yes because its not just about an act but a taking in to account the others feelings on a matter because we want them to do the same, its a broad spectrum. If you say "i like pain so i will inflict it on others" you dont take in to account that they may not like it. However with another that does then all is good. | |

What of the ones that see being nasty as a positive thing ? how would you shift their perception that all that shit they throw out towards others isn't postive or accepting of diversity ? what of the ones that hammer different people for their views or ways ... the little groups that bash others because they can not accept diversity ? | |

People will always fear something different.
And if I knew how to go about it, I probably wouldn't be sitting on the org on a Wednesday morning, waiting to go to my shite but well-paying job. This one's for you. | |

I think it's definitely possible but I don't think it will happen, unfortunately. | |
