On differences in celebrating festivities.

Different Dogmas and beliefs on celebration of dates and festivities has caused frictions and conflicts that breed disunity and disunity never gives optimal gains.
We should note that we are not celebrating Christmas or Easter or New year, we are celebrating friendships, we are celebrating brotherhood and sisterhood, we are celebrating the joys of being together again, we are celebrating ourselves and we are enhancing the spirit of unity which is God's.

When we now begin to argue with ourselves, denomination against denomination, religion against religion, brother against brother we lose sight of the initial reasons of these festivities, we breed anger, we introduce criticisms and breed hate instead of the love which the season is all about. Let's respect the opinions of all, different celebrations mean different things to different people based on nurture and upbringing,
Human race was created to foster love and unity, and since we've divided ourselves along the lines of religions, doctrines and dogmas, we've lost sight of the primary reasons for living and focused on agreeing and disagreeing over what to celebrate and what not to, what to eat and what not to etc

Let's Celebrate Ourselves and focus on the main goals of life - living in unity fostered by love that transcends personal preferences. No human being can do without another, the leg is as instrumental as the fingernails in the human body, we are all created as big blessings to humanity.
