Diversity is the quality of oneness while being different.
Too many people today think diversity is the self and the other. Too much emphasis is placed on the di of the word, the separation of the oneness into parts, rather than on the verse of the word. Verse is the poetry of life, the rhyme of reason, the sonnet of similarities, and it is the meter of the media. Comments about Diversity are abundant these days. There is a series of motivational cards and plaques circulating throughout the business community.
