Familiarity is one of the primary forces behind the human psyche. Some of us are attracted by what is familiar. We find security in what we know, in what we recognize. Others are repelled by familiarites, repelled by what they have in common with others: our parents, our enemies, other races, other religions. These traits that should be the impetus for us coming together as a species, as a people, have lead to atrocity and hatred.

Paradoxcally, I do not believe that it is difference that has driven us apart historically. It is obsession on similiarity that leads to real disgust, that breeds malice in the human heart.

The great Tragedy of Humanity is that we all did come from one common ancestor 60,000 years ago in the Great Rift Valley in Africa. At one point we were all of one creed, one genome and one outlook. It was our genetic survival that depended on the survival of our brothers and sisters. Now, we feel that our cultural survival depends on the senseless deaths of people who in another age, would have been our family.
