The Companion Flag is a symbol of all that human beings have in common, our differences notwithstanding: the love of children, the desire for health and knowledge, concern for the safety and happiness of loved ones, etc. It is called 'the Companion Flag' because it is flown below the other flags of the world, on the same pole. The Companion Flag's purpose is to increase and more importantly sustain public awareness of all that human beings have in common—without denying the importance of our differences, or telling people how to think, feel, or act when human differences collide. An active awareness of what we have in common, even as we deal with differences, is the ground for compassionate understanding, and serves to underscore the essential dignity of all human beings. |
