alt Whitman wrote 'I SING the Body Electric'. I write of the 'Body-Mind, Spirit' connection.
People are different; people are the same. Everywhere.
People are normal, 'people are strange' (The Doors)
There are good people, and bad people. We have differing geography bodies, clothes, foods, cultures, holidays, music, religion, even values, but throughout history, people are the same. (Unfortunately, little human social evolution seems to have transpired, and it's still a concern, although we do make slower-than-glacial progress.)
New York City is a Mixing Bowl; Denver is a Melting Pot. And more than half of the world now lives in cities. The top six are in the East or Far East (as are 18 of the top 27 - 2/3!) NYC and LA are the only US cities; five continents are covered), so it’s also smart to make friends!
Celebrate diversity. There's too much intolerance. Variety is the spice of life. Diversification spells safety. It will also protect your investments.
The Silk Road connected East and West; the spice trade (commerce) led to the 'discovery' of the New World. The Vikings connected northern and southern Europe. The world shrunk.
Change and evolution spell survival, even if outside your comfort zone.
In life, you can't always pick and choose what you want (but sometimes you get what you need - The Rolling Stones).
Inevitably, bad comes with good, light with dark, man with woman, winning with losing, and life with death. Even spies try to even it out with the rule 'one of us, one of them'. Therefore, whether it's nature or intellect, diversity and opposites co-exist. In addition, commerce and investment are often the starting point for the evolution of civilization.
Like it or not, recognize it; ultimately, I hope you accept it. It's a Universal Rule.
People must come together to survive, just like after 9/11, the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, the Haitian earthquake of 2010, Super Storm Sandy, the lighting of the Menorah, and the Three Wise Men under the stars!
Even stars and planets come together! (Friday the planets align, concurrent with the Winter Solstice and the end of the Mayan Calendar!)
Are you diversified? Are you evolving? Are you investing in your future?
