Similar humans!
I read in Bill Clinton's book that all human beings (over six billion) are genetically the same to the extent of 99.9 per cent. It is the difference of 0.1 per cent (one in every thousand) that is causing all the trouble in civilizations and societies, as politics, economics, sociology, and religion bear witness.
As a Bangladeshi, I wonder how this one-tenth of one percent difference of opinion is holding this nation from taking off, just because Sk. Hasina and Begum Khaleda Zia cannot reach a consensus on issues at the national level!
Our micro world is in trouble, and defying macro efforts at reconciliation. It sounds silly that such a microscopic difference makes all the difference in the rise of a nation or changing civilizations. The implications are beyond grasp. I give up.
