At some time, we've probably heard someone say, "I never thought of it that way" or "I never looked at it like that." Within those few words, we begin to understand the importance of experience and the diversity of that experience. Diversity of experience can help to keep us safe, it can help to enrich our own experience, it can provide a springboard for new opportunities, it can help us relate better with others because it enhances our frame of reference to better understand and interact with the world and the people around us. The more we learn about the differences in what surrounds us and what is beyond our surroundings, the greater our opportunity to make better decisions for ourselves and others, for the present and the future.
