Diversity that characterizes the human family,

Consider how radically different such a fragmented conception of human identity is from the one that follows from a recognition of the oneness of humanity.
In this perspective, the diversity that characterizes the human family, far from contradicting its oneness, endows it with richness.

Unity, in its Bahá’í expression, contains the essential concept of diversity, distinguishing it from uniformity. It is through love for all people, and by subordinating lesser loyalties to the best interests of humankind, that the unity of the world can be realized and the infinite expressions of human diversity find their highest fulfilment.
