Diversity is the very fabric of this world. The differences between us are what makes us human. Be it the variance of the color of one’s skin, their nationality, their religion, or faith; we are all beautiful. It might be just an opinion, but a beautiful human being is the one who is kind to all of God’s creation. Every religion teaches empathy. Empathy towards your fellow human beings. We should respect each other’s belief and tolerate whatever makes us uneasy.

Gifting is the best way to celebrate diversity. A gift is any item or service that will make your fellow human happier. Exchanging gifts can be very fruitful and help in the social cohesion of a society. You don’t have to wait for an occasion to give someone a gift; you can do it anytime, just make sure that what you give is meaningful.
