Junot Diaz says: "Our multiplicity is our damn strength. There is no getting around it. People want to make it the danger. People want to make it the problem. No, it's only going to be the problem if we don't make it our strength. And you don't want to be so fantastically reductive, but really, at an operational level, it's really what it comes down to — either we're going to embrace humanity and figure out how we can all live together and work together to overcome the damage that certain sectors of us have inflicted on the planet, or we're not."
This is a sentiment that has rang true since the beginning of humanity and yet after all this time it still has not been recognized as a universal truth. People, on a global level, are very caught up in dividing other people into different categories. In fact, division is pretty much engrained into the fabric of our society at this point. Perhaps the art that needs to be made is the art that helps people realize that no one is really that different from you.
