The Power of Difference
In a world where diversity is increasingly visible, understanding differences in faith and culture offers a valuable opportunity for growth and understanding. Recognizing these differences can lead to the opportunity to inspire and learn from each other. Mutual conflicts are much more often discussed in the media than the collaborations between different cultures. This causes a distorted image.
Each culture and faith perspectives bring stories and traditions that make our world richer. When we travel to other countries and regions, we broaden our horizons. We taste local products and have conversations with people who think differently than us.
On vacation, the beauty of diversity comes to life. We then don't have to face the complex reality and can enjoy the exotic elements there.
It takes courage and awareness to break these barriers and truly connect with people who are different, including in our own community.
We then discover that we are all looking for the same things: Connection, love, understanding and a sense of home.
