If I look around, at people and countries, I can't help thinking of how different we all are. It might seem that we don’t even belong to the same “species”. It might seem we come from different worlds. It is amazing to
observe the myriads of creeds (religions and kinds of spirituality), mentalities (ways of interpreting the meaning of life), behaviors (ways to deal with others). It’s almost unbelievable how people
can think and act in manners that
are diametrically opposed to each other. It seems that what is right for one is
wrong for another and viceversa. Are we all “right”? Are we all “wrong”? Are we sometimes right and sometimes wrong? Finally,
and most importantly, is there a possibility to understand each other? We try to convince ourselves that we have
found a common ground, but have we really? Isn’t it rather a “giving up” from one side or the other? Everyone hopes that true peace and understanding will one day be achieved on this Earth. I hope it, too. Unfortunately, I'm not too sure that it will ever be possible. At least not until each of us keeps saying "I" and "mine" ... endlessly.
