Those that are dull minded want to live in a world in which everything is in the order that they so desire, and the people that make up that order are always predictable -- and everything that so occurs in this construct, is what they desire to see occur or if not, they are basically okay with it, as long as it is contained within a reasonable boundary. One could say that there is a significant amount of people that find the appeal of like-minded people to be quite comforting, for they do not wish to venture into areas of conflict and unknowns, and therefore are perfectly content to just have things the way that they currently are. The reality though is that this world consists of different peoples, different cultures, and differences of all sorts, of which, the fact that we don’t all look alike, or believe the same things, makes for the type of diversity and conflict, that at a minimum, makes life interesting as well as also being challenging.
Whether or not opposites really attract isn’t as important as the salient fact that cookie-cutter people are dull, dull, dull. The fact of the matter is that if everyone was exactly the same, in thoughts, in looks, and in feelings, then this world and the interactions within it, would lack significantly in creativity, vibrancy, and purpose. We are not meant to be the same, or even to think the same; but rather we are required to acknowledge that in order to have sensible civilizations that are beneficial for the people in whole, that we need to display in our interactions, a good neighborly attitude, patience, understanding, concern, helpfulness, justice, and harmony, one to another. That should be the overriding purpose of life, to get along with one another, despite our differences, of which we should recognize that because we are each unique, this ultimately makes for greater drama, greater arts, and a greater overall life experience.
This world was never created just for the exclusive benefit for one race, or one creed, or one sex, but rather it is meant to be a world in which those that are of a different race, or a different creed, or a different sex, have the fair opportunity to become united into a common purpose, of which, in order for that to ultimately occur, there is invariably going to be plenty of battles, conflicts, and disagreements, along with dissension, that are going to be part of that robust and even chaotic experience. So too, everybody is entitled to a fair say of what it is that they so desire to see happen, for only when each person is accorded a true voice, is it possible to have something so constructed that has thereby been made for everybody, which actually reflects everybody, as opposed instead to one dominate view, voiced by a minority, that rules everybody else by coercion, force, or manipulation.
Each one of us is totally unique, but deep down at our core, we have commonality because we are all created equally, meant to meet one another at that place in which we recognize that we are each a vital piece in the design of that magnificent illuminated mosaic, located beyond time and space.
