Why a difference of opinion upon predestination, or the trinity, should make people imprison and burn each other seems beyond the comprehension of man and yet in all countries where Christians have existed, they have destroyed each other to the exact extent of their power. It is amazing to me that a difference of opinion upon subjects that we know nothing with certainty about, should make us hate, persecute, and despise each other. This earth will be a paradise when men can, upon all these questions differ, and yet grasp each other's hands as friends. Mankind will be enslaved until there is mental grandeur enough to allow each man to have his thought and say. “Until every soul is freely permitted to investigate every book, and creed, and dogma for itself, the world cannot be free. But we are on a journey to see that in all of our differences, that is what makes us beautiful as a human race, and if we are ever to grow, we ought to learn and always learn some more.”

We are not on a journey to become the same or to be the same. Because in this, we all have an underlying belief that everyone should be the same as us at some point. And that's okay.In the quest for unity and peace, we cannot blind ourselves and expect to be all the same. We are all different! But the key to this door is to look at these differences, respect these differences, learn from and about these differences, and grow in and with these differences. Because the truth is, we should not all see everyone as the same! We are not the same! We are made of different colours and we have different cultures.

This is the root of the failure of harmony. “The downfall of the attempts of governments and leaders to unite mankind is found in this- in the wrong message that we should see everyone as the same.

Different than all the rest synonym
