Know Thyself through SAMENESS and DIFFERENCES:
It’s the sameness that I’m talking about now. Sameness in spite of difference or different sounds of the word. The same ideas, a different color, but the same spirit; different churches, but the same faith; different liquor, but the same hangovers; different jokes, but the same laughter; different faces, but the same humanity.
Thank God for the differences! Cause it is out of those differences that culture grows, and grows big in all directions at once.
-Orson Welles
I think it means it is in our differences and similarities where we discover our true selves. One requires perspective and empathy to truly be a part of this world. If you are only focused on yourself, if you judge people depending on whether they agree with you or not, and/or if you are for things that are advantageous for you regardless of impact to others….you are missing the big picture, the variety of life, and the whole point.
What does this mean to YOU?
