Saved by Diversity
There is a couplet in Sanskrit that says, "It is because lions are lazy, snakes are scared, and intellectuals have difference of opinions, that there is happiness on the planet".
Just imagine if lions were very active, they would have finished all the animals in the forest in no time. So the laziness of the lion is a boon to the forest. Similarly, serpents are so scared and because of their fear we are saved. In the same way, the differing opinions of intellectuals makes the world a better place. We would have no diversity on the planet if everyone thought the same thing.Imagine, if everyone goes to a restaurant and eats only one thing, there will be no variety in the restaurant. Diverse viewpoints make the world a better place to live in. What the world needs is celebration in diversity- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (author)- This appeared in a local paper and is now reproduced for the information and benefit of the members of "sundercircle".
