Unity In Diversity

Many years ago we were at the airport sending a member of the family off. Our kids were toddlers then. Mameh and his cousin, Amin, both looked very much like little Chinese boys running and playing catch. Then came around another Chinese-looking boy joining in the fun. You can't really differentiate their races. If Bubba was old enough to join them then there would be 4 Chinese-looking little boys. It is truly unity in diversity and diversity in unity.

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافُ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَأَلْوَانِكُمْ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْعَالِمِينَ


Ar-Rum 30:22 And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colours: verily in that are Signs for those who know.
