The change we desire comes from within us. Until we learn to acknowledge and respect each other's differences in opinion, gender, race, religion as valuable, unity will always remain an obscure fantasy. In the famous words of Nelson Mandela, "No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
