Illuminateotherness

Shall we make -others more like us; or appreciate- others’ creative uniqueness; listen to -others’ viewpoints, to bridge-worldwide differences, harmoniously? Would sameness & otherness get along, to collaborate, compete, reinvent the world, ultimately?

Otherness sounds different;

sameness looks alike;

otherness criticizes;

sameness unifies,

otherness diversifies;

sameness synchronizes;

otherness breaks down -

outdated traditions;

sameness follows through -

common beliefs,

otherness is unique,

stands out to-

make differences;

sameness is standardized,

keep things in order;

isn’t “sameness vs. otherness" debate -

going on,

continually?

The idea of otherness is -

crucial to-

understanding how people think, act,

differently;

people feel intimidated by -

others because-

qualities & opinions of-

others challenging them,

unconventionally;

people dislike creativity,

in fear of -

freshness of the otherness,

promptly;

sameness makes people-

get stuck at -

comfort zone;

otherness alerts them-

out of stagnation,

immediately.

Shall we make -

others more like us;

or appreciate-

others’ creative uniqueness;

listen to -

others’ viewpoints,

to bridge-

worldwide differences,

harmoniously?

Would sameness & otherness get along,

to collaborate, compete,

reinvent the world,

ultimately?
