Our world is filled with diverse languages, cultures, ecosystems, and so much more. The list of possibilities is infinite. Every person can create an unlimited variety of creative ideas. Imagination is the engine that drives diversity; imagination is also the spark that fosters new creations. One of life's greatest joys is experiencing different ideas and cultures. While this is true, our diverse thoughts and beliefs also form the foundation for personal and global disputes. The way we are trained to think and believe creates strongly held-emotional connections to things we deem acceptable or unacceptable. These firmly held thoughts and beliefs. Anker us to emotions of resistance, which creates stress in our minds and bodies.

When we cannot accept the thoughts and beliefs of others as having value. Our resistant emotional response signals powerful stress hormones that flood our bodies. After many years of resistant emotional responses and signaling these stress hormones. It will result in tremendous physical suffering for our bodies in the form of stress-related illnesses. When we allow and respect the diversity of others, stress is lowered, and harmony returns to the mind and body.
