As humans our brains are sadly very binary they way we look at people around us. We either see people as "us" or as "the other".

Whatever the criteria being used. But once we make that distinction our empathy towards the other greatly diminishes, leading to the wars that existed since the dawn of time.
If we could remember that we really are on the same side, we can solve some of the global problems the planet is currently facing.

The trouble is, there will always be opposites. Just take religion for example, there is either truth or there's untruth. Nobody can be backing both so everyone will always have an agenda.
@SW-User So what if we have different agenda. Respect to all.

@SoulKey I try to be respectful, but it's particularly hard, especially with agnostics, when in my heart, I believe they will not be saved if they don't hear. There's a constant balance that needs to be made between staying true to my God, being his hands and feet in this world and yet not annoying or offending people. I hope I'm getting the balance right.
