All men are created equal .We are all trying to satisfy same basic needs for existence, such as food, clothings, shelter, education, a pleasant community to live in. We may have different backgrounds and nationality, but our needs and desires are not that much dissimilar. So why does peace and cooperation among people has been so difficult to establish? There are disagreements between races, countries, cultures, next-door neighbours and families over minor differences. So what can we do about it? Different parts of our body have different functions. But they all work together to maintain the body .If the arms and legs stop working, our body cannot survive. Similarly we all are the parts of the same planet. So if we all work together to attain our essential common goals, we are all helping ourselves to reach a happy and pleasant life. When devastating natural calamities like tsunami, hurricane, tornado or storm hit the earth damaging houses, killing thousands, the only way by which the community could get back to normalcy is to take care of each other overlooking differences. It is the time to create a peaceful, cooperative, and prejudice-free world by highlighting the natural commonality that exists between all of us. Unless we have a central focus on the identity of humanity, all talk of unity is merely utopian.
