Differences again

 

So as in previous post there is clearly a very strong connection between

qualities and differences, because in examining qualities we are concerned

with differences and distinctions, in order to effectively describe those

qualities.  Also, when we are talking about different " things ", like

apricots, helicopters, waterfalls, or albatrosses, we are using differences

to describe those " things " as distinct.  Also sometimes we are also 

concerned with aspects, such as the aspects of people and how they 

organize themselves, which would be mostly - like - sociology.  

So differences are a big deal all the way around. 


Now, it seems to me, vaguely, but my experience does suggest that

particularly, between 2016 and 2020 differences, became kind of

exaggerated more that what normally goes on lets say in a normal

four year cycle.  And so when Joe Biden entered the Presidency,

he had a " goal " of uniting the America people, by which

he mostly meant in the U.S.A., because for example, the 

Canadians do not particularly want to be " united " with

the U.S.A. , because that would only make everything so

much more confusing because of different languages.  


If you want to expand that, to the land mass from , oh say, 

Panama, well, lot more confusing even.


Of course, such a difficult goal to achieve, particularly starting

from 2020, while not necessarily un-realistic, it did seem

pretty - un-achievable, and thus very easy to criticize  , by simply

" asserting " as forcefully as possible that he was in fact dividing

the American people.  Well, I can only say, he was leading by

example, and in my humble opinion, he has certainly exerted

some terrific effort in that regard.   


So my point then would simply have to be, differences are

indeed important, for example, differences are clearly important

particularly as regards science, but unity,  as for example in

United States of America, is a kind of magical, mysterious,

wonderful, and generally " amazing " thing.
