The other day we had this ‘Inclusion and Diversity‘ kick offs where we talk about how diverse we are and how we accept this at work and make it to our success.
“Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted.” ~ Martin Luther King Jr.
This is done at work – now I am sure this must be taking place at some level in schools too.
Basically, this is to help bring down the gap between any cultural aspects between individuals and to respect your fellows, co-workers and your neighbors.
“Race hate isn’t human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature.” ~ Orson Welles
I was shocked when I heard the other day a lady walks in to a day care system in School and say loud and clear to the authority that she doesn’t want any Mexicans near her kids!
“We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.” ~ Anne Frank

“There is nowhere you can go and only be with people who are like you. Give it up.” ~ Bernice Johnson Reagan
I totally abandon such thoughts that differentiate people based on their color, creed, caste, religion. This is a shameful thing in today’s era where I believe we are above all these things.
“I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stifled. I want all the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” ~ MK Gandhi
In the name of Diversity, what are we doing? Are we trying to achieve the right thing or are we creating more hurdles for our coming generation to live with in such circumstances?
Whom to blame?
“Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color.”
