Unity in Diversity

As humans, we are available in many shapes and sizes. But beyond all our differences, we are all one.

During my Biology finals in Grade XI, I came across an image and inspiration struck. 

If you think about it, the human body has so many different organ systems in our body and they're all so different, yet, there is something amazing about how it all works together.

The circulatory system pumps the blood which helps in transportation of both oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.

Without one organ system, the others would be useless.

So why not see the society like that?

Why should it matter if a person is different from us? Why look at a person's religion, caste, gender, skin color? Are we not all humans?

If the human body started to discriminate, we'd all be dead. Think of it this way, our circulatory system is a white person and our respiratory system is a black person.

If our heart refuses to pump the blood to our lungs, then our blood would never be oxygenated and it doesn't take a genius to understand that it would be fatal.

The human society is a lot like the human body, everything and everyone is connected to one another and everyone is equally important.
A man and woman should be seen as equals, just as we see our neural and endocrine system.

It is impossible to survive without all the different organ systems, then how do you expect to survive without all the different aspects of society.

As much as I would love to say that in today's world everyone is equal, we all know it isn't true. Even though female foeticide is illegal, it still happens. People don't think girls are worth as much as boys and to those people, I'd like to say one think, if it weren't for your mother, you wouldn't be alive.

Sexism isn't the only horrifying truth of this world that still exists. People to this day are racist. Why is it right to judge someone on the basis of their ethnicity?

Just think of it this way, if our body doesn't discriminate, why should we?

Stand up for those who are mistreated. Do the right thing.

Stand united in the face of discrimination and maybe one day, we'd have a world where everyone is equal.

We'd never achieve world peace until we can finally get over the social norms. Don't let society tell you what's right and wrong. Be who you want to be and make your own choices.

Don't let the fear of being judged make you do something in life you don't believe in. Choose your own religion, choose your own path in life, choose who you love regardless of gender, and don't let gender roles define what you do in life.

Don't be afraid to do a man's job just because you're a woman. Choose what you want to do and do it. Don't let the society tell you it's wrong for a man to work in fashion or not work at all. I'm not saying you don't need to work, I'm just saying don't listen to people when they say it's a woman's job.

Don't be afraid to be who you are.

It doesn't matter what you do as long as you were the one that made the decision. This world is going to judge you but unless you are who you are, you will regret the life you lived based on other's decisions.

I'd like to say one thing, though. It doesn't matter who you are, I'll support you no matter what (unless you chose the path of violence and substance abuse, which I definitely don't condone. That is definitely something every human being to stay away from). 

I'll support you like my heart supports my brain by providing it with blood.

Let's stand united even though we're all different and support each other.

Make the human society like the human body. The human body is a something we can be proud of, let's make our society something we can be proud of too.

I'd like to make one request; let's all be Equalists.
