At the interface between diversity and common ground many human problems arise. Diversity is the unique variation, while all these singularities share a common environment, an interconnected ground. The concomitant, interrelated existence of the two might be referred to as the mystery of singular uniqueness versus the enigma of all encompassing unity. These timeless concomitant interdependent features of man’s condition in his overall environment is a constant of human history which has never been solved but which has rather given rise to an endless string of relational problems, among which the big international, interracial, interreligious, inter-ideological wars, as well as that of man with the ecological common ground are milestones.
