Alexander son of Olympias by Raj Arumugam

Anu, said Alexander, I would have thought so earlier in my life. Truly, when I am seated on my throne, and when I behold the vast diversity of peoples before me, it is with wonder that I view them. For surely this diversity of peoples and their ways and beliefs in this wide world is marvellous, it is beautiful.
And as I see them before me, I feel humbled by the uniqueness of each person and the set of ways, customs and beliefs each person represents.
The uniqueness and the rightness of each culture and beliefs is what comes to mind, Anu.
