Diversity and Inclusion

There is always a choice

   Diversity is good. Inclusion is better. One advantage of living in an urban area is the ability to enjoy a diversity of people and cultures, whether those differences are expressed in language, art, music, literature, politics, religion or outlook on life.
   Some folks, of course, prefer the comfort of a group, where many or most of the members have similar cultural, linguistic, social or racial backgrounds. This, however, denies the advantage of diversity. But groups can also include diversity as part of their ethos.
   Consider the overall benefits of doing both: Participating in a group of alikes as well as spicing your life with the variety of sampling the pleasures of the non-alikes.
