It's an inspirational, thought-provoking few lines you've given us - challenging the accepted line of thinking that we should concentrate on our similarities, but really it is (as you point out), the variations that make life interesting. That photo is brilliant! And also thank you for including Rhonnie's perceptive review. I enjoyed your posting very much.

CIAO POET: This poem is a brilliant account of diversity. Yes...it is diversity that creates similarity, from which comes diversity. Human life originated from one 360 degree straight line which creates a circle. Yes. Like a water stream that moves It takes us places. Where? It takes us back to from which it came, but never stops moving. This phenomenon can be describes as, "infinity," COMPARE: Genesis chapter #2 and at verses # 21 through chapter # 24. THUS:
(21) And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in it's place.
(22) Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought the woman to the man.
(23) And Adam said: "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman because she was taken out of man. >>>(diversity.)
(24) Therefore...a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become, "One Flesh." >>>(similarity.)
So then...the more different we are...the more similar we are. Girl and Boy. Ooooooo! Love and Joy. God bless you, poet. Cordially: rhonnie69.

It is an interesting saying and I've heard similar before, when speaking about the strength of diversity. But like most things, it is not an absolute. Sometimes differences can be a strength but they can also be a weakness. The world and human history is filled with many examples. I think the real strength is in recognizing this, that like people even ideals are not one size fits all.
Thought provoking piece.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts ..
This is my take :
It s a fact that diversity is creativity .. thinking all alike is like stagnant water ..
different mean input.. a flow of new ideas ..... it s like water in a stream on the move ..it takes you places ..
The lesson we must learn : not to fear diversity .. not to hate what s different ..
most wars are caused by fear of not knowing the opponent ..
We need to change our frame of mind .. way of thinking
I m glad you enjoyed the read !
Keep safe.

I love it when one can make a point in just a few words. You did that perfectly. I do
However think
both are important issues to realize. :)
Best of luck in the contest!

I see your point .. I would have loved to add ..mostly ..
What counts mostly is not how similar but rather how different we are
But the count limit was 5-7-5
Thank you for reviewing my wee poem .. I hope you liked the picture?
-
Oh yes! The picture is adorable. Funny that I didn?t even notice that at first.
-
Actually the pic inspired the poem ( biggrin)
Keep safe!
