It’s hard to sort out individual differences because at the onset, differences naturally result in conflicts. But today’s setup requires you to be more flexible and accepting of other people regardless of background, culture, and history.With regard to friendship, it is not just about what’s common between two people. More importantly, friendship is about accepting the person regardless of your differences. On top of these, you can say that friendship is about respecting each other’s beliefs, principles, and religions.There is a need to adjust the superiority mindset and learn that respect is the most important value of all. Let go of the superiority complex because everyone has the right to choose their own set of ideas to believe in. If you feel like you have to be respected your convictions, you also have to respect other people’s differences from you.You can’t force people to choose what you believe in, the same way that they can’t force you to believe what they believe in. There is a better way to put it. You shouldn’t force people to believe what you believe in, because they also don’t have the right to force you to adopt their beliefs. So stop insisting your own views.It is important that every person upholds the value of respect towards each other. You can help propagate this by passing it on to your children. The best way to instill this to your child is for them to learn by example. Be the kind of person you want them to grow up to be. Don’t discriminate their playmates on grounds of race or religion.Respecting other people’s differences will lessen the world’s conflicts. And that is something we must all strive for.
