London is the home of a dizzying mix of cultures, politics, religions and belief systems. Even more fascinating is that this eclectic group of individuals lives, works and plays together quite well.

I think the rest of the world could learn something from this unlikely “experiment” of openness and tolerance. Of course it’s not perfect, but it comes close.

One of my favorite things to do in London is to sit in areas where lots of people congregate and just watch the diversity of people. In a matter of minutes you can see people from dozens of different countries and all continents, some of them tourists and others residents. Everyone just seems to be having fun and not really worried about where the other person comes from or what religion they might be.

London is a great lesson for all us to practice more patience, understanding, tolerance and instill a desire to learn more about our fellow humans. We are blessed to live in such a rich, diverse world.

Go out and experience some of it. Practice tolerance. Be an example of understanding. Have some fun.

Have a wonderful day!
