Is unity an impossible dream?

Look around and you’ll find people who are different from each other: different political beliefs, different ethnicities, different cultures, different socio-economic standings, different religious beliefs, different priorities, different mindsets. And isn’t that great? Embracing diversity, rather than resisting it, makes us stronger and helps us grow.

I think we can all agree that life is mostly good. Most days, we have everything we need and more. Most days, more people are kind to us than are rude to us. Most days, we find opportunities to take pleasure in what we enjoy: the outdoors, entertainment, time with loved ones. Most nights, we go to bed and know that the people we love are still alive, and we wake up the next morning to have them still there with us.
