When we sit down and deliberate on our blessings, something that we often do to reap plenty of mental health benefits, we realise that our biggest assets are not materialistic. Wealth is indeed a happy bonus but it turns out that it is the people around us who add the most value to our lives. The 21st century has been an age of immense globalisation and migration. We have made our homes far away from our places of birth. We have begun to firmly believe that the whole world is our oyster and have started taking steps towards being identified as one human race. We know that our colours, languages, food, clothes, religions and cultures are our identity. However, we do not crave segregation based on our identities instead we are calling for freedom to be ourselves without boundaries. We strive to preserve our beautiful kaleidoscope.
It is our dream to be accepted and respected where ever we are and we intend to return the same. We need our work to speak for us. Physical location and distance does not alienate us but teaches us to care beyond borders. Our blood relations may be far way but we know the value of good neighbours and good friends. Our loved ones will be okay and we will be okay too because it is not wrong to expand our horizons and we have faith that we will be not tested beyond our capacity. We know better than to feel xenophobic and paranoid. We have the good sense and diligence to choose properly. Humans are social beings, the best and the most complex of all creation. There is a reason why we need each other and that is not to compare and despair but to unleash our potential and realise our dreams. The whole world could have been a uniform place but it is not so because the freedom to choose is inherent to us. Diversity exists not to cause trouble on earth but to appreciate different ways of life and to come to the truth. We work together constructively to reap the benefits of the ripple effect of peace, justice, tolerance, truth and success that extends beyond ourselves...
He aha te mea nui o te ao. He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people. - Maori Quote.
