It can make it possible to overlook the experiences of those who have been systematically oppressed, ignored, and forgotten, for one. In this sense, the term is usually a cover for \u201cuniformity,\u201d perpetuating the unfortunate notion that we have to be the same to not be in conflict. But that\u2019s the kind of so-called unity perpetuated by the violent worldview. Can nonviolence offer us something different?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it\u2019s more urgent than we think!<\/p>\n<p>For democracy to be possible, Gandhi maintained, it has to be built on a foundation of unity, not \u201cin uniformity,\u201d but unity-in-diversity. This revolutionary concept is based in the vision of a human being as body, mind, and spirit. On the physical plane, diversity is not only natural, it\u2019s desirable. It\u2019s the expression of the infinite complexity and creativity of the universe.<\/p>\n<p>On the level of mind, we strive for mutual understanding, which can only come from the recognition that on the level of spirit, we are not fragmented, not existentially and forever separated from one another\u2013on this level we are one, and in order to realize it, paradoxical as it may sound, diversity must be embraced and honored on the surface \u2014 things like physical appearance, wealth, etc., and even our opinions.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Experiment in nonviolence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p>Where do you see a tendency in yourself to impose uniformity onto others or your environment? If you could do one thing to incorporate a greater appreciation for the order of unity-in-diversity in your life, what would it be?
