Unity Day?

As I sit outside, listening to the fireworks for the Fourth of July, I think: What if I shift in my mind from “we’re celebrating Independence Day” to “we’re celebrating Unity Day”?

Then, what if we were to take all the different holidays that celebrate individual collectives and make them all Unity Days? We could celebrate what brings us all together instead of focusing on what makes us different.

Not to lessen our uniqueness and diversity but to emphasize our unity within that diversity.

I know that idea might initially upset, but what if?

Not the dilution of cultures, but the infusion of a deeper thread.
