Definition of Choice & Diversity

- By Bahram Maskanian - February ­ 09 ­ 2003

Diversity: the reality, fact and quality of being diverse and different. A point or respect in which same things and species differ, while occurring in or having many forms, shapes and colors. Consisting of a large variety of multi-categories of organic organisms capable of interbreeding and reproducing.

Clearly it is evident that the diversity of species is the principle of evolution, which has operated to construct all species: variation, competition and selection.

Choice: an inalienable right; the act of choosing and selecting. The birth power of all creatures to choose who is going to be their lover and mate, where and when they like to eat, what they wish to eat. To choose is a right and liberty, to have an alternative option to choose the best or most preferable path or part.

We are free to choose and enjoy the diversity of life, as long as our freedom and the choices that we make do not infringe upon other creatures’ freedom to choose or harm them.

So many times in different public gatherings, occasions, and in the corporate media we see and hear so-called religious, political, and business leaders preaching to the people in various tones and fashion, proclaiming they know what is good and right. How the public should live their lives. What type clothing the public should wear? What type of sex people should choose to have?

While these public figures shamelessly and ruthlessly advocate and impose their tedious moral supremacy, urging and forcing acceptance from the people, they themselves enjoy a life of extravagance and an unlimited privilege with absolutely no sense of morality, dignity and honor.

Life is evolving as it already has for billions of years and continues to do so with all of its Choices & Diversities.

Mother Nature, God, whatever you may choose to believe in, has given us these brilliant and wonderful Choices & Diversities. So if she or he or they or it, did not mind putting together the Choices & Diversities, then who the hell has given these so-called religious, political, and business leaders the right and permission to choose, talk for us and mislead us?

Until such time that every human being is self-sufficient, with no need for leading personalities and characters, we are going to suffer and have an on-going struggle with the greedy power-hungry individuals in a variety of professions, who will try to dominate and mislead the public. Therefore it’s the public’s civic duty to educate oneself and be aware of the world around us.
