Can we all learn to get along?

Life is a series of challenges and obstacles.

We are All meant to experience, learn and evolve from these trials and tribulations.
None of it is easy, for anyone. You
can see that displayed throughout all of nature actually.

I'm not doubting nor questioning your challenges and/or circumstance.

What I can say, is that our perception of our road directly contributes to the mindset and attitude with which we walk that path.
Hence, creating the reality of our human experience.

Yeah that's why it's better to try to accept others even if we don't understand them or like them..
It's better to keep the peace and wish them well.
Even if they're selfish

It’s a nice ideal, but not realistic with everybody mingled unless we achieved homogeny. I’m not saying that I am in support of reverting back to tribalism or homogeny. I’m only pointing out that when people actually live their values eventually it becomes a conflict of interest when it comes to serious issues (which is to say any issue that is of significance to that sect of people).

When others have opinions or attitudes we don't like, maybe it's possible to be more tolerant if we think maybe their brain is just 'wired that way' and there's nothing they can do about that.

Or if we believe they [i]can[/i] willfully change their brain, what do we mean by '[i]they'[/i]'?

@Really I like that you bring up tolerance, it is a big aspect of acceptance.
By they (I think that you're referencing one of my comments), I mean conflicting parties attaining an amicable existence. It's terrible that warring is in our DNA, and our constant strive for dominance blinds us along with our egos and greed. Basically, I am fed up with how this world is treating it self and we need a major reboot of our mindset.
I kinda wish aliens land and offer to take some of us off planet.

@Ferric67 I agree with you. But when I questioned whether 'they can willfully change their brain' I was referring to a paradox that often intrigues me: If a person's brain is the thing that does all their thinking, how can there be a something outside of the brain - a 'them' - that tells it what to think, or think about?

Things is complex 🙃

Seems like quite a challenge as long not everyone will respect and accept one as an equal human being.
@Ferric67
It’s difficult to respect and accept people who thinks that you don’t belong coz of your sexuality, just to mention one.

@pillowprincess I get it.
It's good to be understanding, isn't it.
@Ferric67
I find it hard to understand hateful people. I accept their existence but I’ll never understand how hatred can be of such importance that other values will be forgotten. I know I won’t change their ideas in a place as here. These people come here to spread their hatred, and won’t be sincerely interested in anything but their hatred. C’est la vie !

[quote]I can't change other people's minds..[/quote] I think that's not necessarily true. We maybe won't do it by arguing but we never know what effect our behavior or opinions will have (maybe later, maybe privately) on someone else's thoughts.

@PepsiColaP Maybe 'we' can't 'all' get along but at any moment any one of us can choose to do so. ?
Yes, we can and many of us are already on that way.
Patience is the need of the hour. I tell myself aloud. Mannnny times.

@sspec patience is a virtue

@SW-User I can't change other people's minds...it would be a waste of my time. Since I can only control my thoughts and outlook, I choose my road. If others notice and want a similar experience...that's their call. If enough people independently choose that road...just maybe more will follow.
After all, there are a lot of sheep like qualities within the mentality of the masses.

@Ferric67 I'm not a sheep ...that's for others ...not me ...I do my own thing...I'm not trying to change anyone's mind ...

Sometimes I feel like that when I meet people like you that offer inspiring words, I feel like you are talking out your arse.... word
Maybe we cannot hope for everyone to get along, but we can always strive to be nice
