Diversity versus Division

Perhaps division causes people to feel different and unique.  Unique and being different is wonderful.  If we look around nature itself, we can see that there is much diversity.  There are various types of plant life and animal life.  In the universe there are various stars and planets.   Diversity makes life interesting.

Division on the other hand can be destructive.  Division causes wars, and hate also divides.  There are those who would like to make us feel like we are special, if we are part of a different political persuasion or graduated from a different college or if one is a different race or sex.   Basically it is the attitude that accompanies the diversity that destroys.

The law of mathematics teaches that a number that is divided is smaller.   When a person wants to go beyond a certain mind set, or reach levels of spirituality that they have never reached before,  it is better achieved  by seeking unity and oneness.   Sometimes we can become so divided that we cannot see humanity for what it is.   In this movie clip the fifth wave, one person had to speak it out and let the other person know that “ He's one of us”  What was the identifier?  They were all human.  However there was a force that brought forth confusion in order to divide and conquer one human against another.   Is there something in your life that has caused you to believe that you have to be divided?
