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.

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 🙃
