I've replied to the issue of conflict in other messages.  Here are some
reasons you might value diversity:

The greater the diversity, the greater the creativity.
The greater the diversity, the greater the pool of experience.
The greater the diversity, the greater the knowledge base.
The greater the diversity, the greater the psychological and spiritual
growth that's possible.
The greater the diversity, the greater the store of good stories.

I'm sure there are lots more.  Those are off the top of my head.

Namaste,
Michael
