"Peace is not unity in similarity but unity in diversity"
Simplified meaning
True peace doesn't come from everyone being the same, but from different people coming together and getting along. Imagine a garden with only one kind of flower; it might look nice, but it wouldn't be as interesting or beautiful as a garden with many types of flowers. Each flower is different, yet they all make the garden lovely when they are together. In a similar way, people from different backgrounds, cultures, and ways of thinking can create a richer, more creative and dynamic community when they join forces. For example, in a workplace, having a team with varied skills and experiences can bring new ideas and solutions. If people appreciate and respect these differences instead of insisting everyone should be the same, there's a better chance of real harmony. This diversity makes the world more vibrant and peaceful.
