Above All Nations Is Humanity

"Above All Nations Is Humanity" means that no matter how different all of us might look, we are all made of the same essence, and finding out what that essence consists of, is becoming multicultural.

One of the great life experiences is to live and get to know different people and their cultures, and that is why I've chosen the Cosmopolitan Club to be my second home.

Living in the Cosmopolitan Club means for me learning a lot about persons of different nationalities and cultures, but also gaining friends and making experiences, which I will never forget.

Despite physical and cultural differences that distinguish all nations, we are all humans and together we are part of humanity.

I would compare it to an onion. As you peel off layers you get to the core, consisting of human thoughts and emotions understanding these are universal.

Let's all hold each other's hands and make a better world.

Being with people from all of the world gives me great pleasure and experiences.

Living at Cosmo this year has assured me that neither race, nationality, nor religion keeps people around the world from feeling the emotions common to everyone: the need to be loved, to be happy, and to belong.

Living in Cosmo is experiencing the motto. We indeed bud off from different parts of the world and are racially, culturally diverse. Although we have different ways of expression, we all care, love, and respect each other, the basis of humanity.

It's a worthy motto. I wish more people in the world took it to heart. Is the corollary of this, "Beneath all nationalism lies inhumanity?"

This motto talks about a very natural thing, about the need for and joy of appreciating each other's culture and values with an open mind, without prefabricated ideas. Still, this is something that sometimes just gets lost in life. I am really happy that the Cosmo house is here, where this is the fundament of our being together: the eagerness to know more about each other and the offering and openness to give.
