Many things are wonderful to be varied. Morality is not one of them.
Often I have heard the argument that if murder and rape were considered moral then it would be OK.
I would like to challenge these people to provide for me a picture of what such an ethic would look like.
How on earth would you trust anybody? A world like this would soon destroy itself, proving the ethic to be unsound.
Ethics must serve the continuance of a people or they cannot exist. this one statement suggests that morality is absolute.
Our world suffers because this concept is not universally accepted and neither is a fundamental morality.

The worlds fine as it is. Its something that the rocks, the trees, and even the birds understand, but we humans cannot. They continue as they do even though they are as at much risk as we are. Diversity should be relished, its not a bad thing. Nature has shown us that diversity is a good thing too. U no, from biology class, ecology? The world may be wounded, but the earth, shes quite old now, and so is the sun. Sit by a river some day. Listen to what it has to say. Listen carefully. And rocks stand to testify as witnesses of earths history. Trees would be great teachers if they could talk. Dont worry about the wounds humanity helped create, wounds heal you know. The buddha reached enlightenment under a fig tree, i hear a river is a good place for that too, i think i found mines from rocks, but who knows, ive only been through 16-20% of my life. ; )

I have ponder this question all my life as many other wonderful people and thinker have through out history. However, beside praying and living a life that I feel is just and kind to all, I don't know what else we can do. It seems that this earth is a proving ground of some kind for us all, and that all is not necessarily collective. It appears to be individual. So it matters a great deal what we do individual as well as collective. But......
.....I actually thought of writing a book on a fictional enemy from without that comes to earth and the entire earth comes together to save the world. And then guess what...they made INDEPENDENCE DAY ...with Will Smith.. My favorite. LOL...

Read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. That should clear up how to bring "unity" to the world over "diversity". (Really, I love Brave New World!)
The ultimate cure to heal the world? Time. Either we'll find peace or kill ourselves off as a species-- both would cure the earth itself: limit the damage or eliminate the threat-- either way it won't be in our lifetimes. Humanity has to grow a lot for this to be possible, and no one thing is going to bring about either end.

The way the world is going to come together is from an outside attack, I mean from another planet. Then the worlds governments will cooperate with each other to use all the worlds resources to defend and come together as a united Earth to save humankind from destruction.

How 'bout this website...(or the internet in general...start a "pay-it-forward" world wide web trend of diversity and unity all slung together in some mish-mash, hosh-posh cooperative effort from all of us World Peacers everywhere...
(Damn...that just might work to take out the "bad guys...")

Eliminate all but one person. Otherwise, there will be diversity of opinion. I would prefer such diversity to genocide, but this approach would work.

Certainly, you can threaten or kill anyone who disagrees with you.
Personally, this seems like a lot of nasty work. Can't we just stick with diversity?

embrace the diversity instead of homogenizing it. stop trying to make one world and it might just happen by itself.
force it and it will never be.

We coexist. If the rules of coexistence are well defined, the whole becomes one.
