Flowers and Politics: Finding Unity in Diversity

You don't need to be a genius to understand the people and what the people are saying. We are all philosophers and politicians. Everyone has their politics in the end. And now, let's talk about politics as an art of governing and about politics as a rule and policy. And then, am I now a philosopher or a genius? Oh no, I'm just a delicious Macaron. I was making a silly joke in my mind. But yes, politics is more than the art of governing and managing things. Not all policies are equal - and what if they were? Just as there is a trend that every other girl follows the movement, and while walking in town, you think they are sisters because every facial feature is the same, and when it is - they only have the same aesthetician. And imagine in my small town - we would all go to the same dentist but never wear the same smile. 

And what kind of flowers do you see in gardens and shops - are they the same or different? There are many types of flowers. We recognize those that are similar, but we also distinguish those that are similar. For example, peonies have the same shape, so like us, our heads are mostly round, and some are oblong. Their branches are the same, some shorter, some longer. Just like our legs, the same, and yet we are different. 

Well, you can plant the same flower in the whole garden and know what you will get in the end - the same, but a different flower. We are all philosophers and politicians. But we are all equal in our differences, just like people and flowers. The same and yet different.
