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"

hmmm

some people are into self inflicted pain ... they enjoy that and so would "do onto others" in that way

would that adage really work ?

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.

how would this work with those that truely dont give a shit about pain caused to others ? 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. smile
This one's for you.

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