Nature loves diversity.

Loss of diversity results in loss of resilience and sustainability.

Diversity is healthy and it’s beautiful.

I think this fundamental characteristic of Nature teaches us how to be healthy, individually and as a society. A diverse diet is a healthier one….too much of any one foodstuff isn’t good for you. Diversity in our activities is also healthy. Getting stuck in a habit, or worse, and addiction is never good. Diversity of activity at work is also healthy. The capitalist, industrial model of fashioning a human being into a machine like cog to carry out the exact same limited range of tasks isn’t good for any individual. Diversity of races, traditions, beliefs and values produces healthy societies.
