Making peace by respecting different values
Human beings have the weird habit of disliking differences that exist amongst themselves. People of different skin colors, beliefs, and cultures are discriminated. Maybe that’s our genetic mechanism, where we have to behave that way subconsciously to win the intra species competition to secure the scarce resources such as food and money (job) (people with differences = competitors).
We have to accept the fact that everyone can’t be totally the same. The world is diverse and it’s far better if we accept diversity with open heart than trying to convert every person into a clone of ours.
People become angry when other people have different values that they don’t agree with. Sometimes people with such values are demonized via dark propaganda. I think that drives humanity further away from peace. Why people don’t just respect other’s values? Every one has his own way of living. We don’t have to be a moral police to shove our moral codes down people’s throat. We have other things to do in life, after all.
For me, I think as long as no one is hurt or disturbed, we should respect different values for peace sake.
Humans should learn to smoke the peace pipe.

Each person have a totally different set of values. The only way to live peacefully with each other is to recognize and respect other’s value. It is the same thing happening in a corporate environment. We can’t expect our peers, or subordinate to act the way like we do. We value different things in life differently.
Relax, how are you doing in the foreign country? Any back-packing recently?

I agree with you!
