I like to promote the idea of people being united. Over time we improve our standards of living and our understanding of the world around us. These improvements happen through cooperation among ourselves and with nature. We can gain empathy with the world and people around us the more we understand and work together. The eye is like a fingerprint, it uniquely identifies us, and yet, it’s unclear who the model is, where they come from, what religion they follow, sometimes even what sex they are. Cooperation and admiration for each other do not need to come from an idea.
