Respect & Understanding
Hello Everyone,
Conflict, war, adversity or aggressive confrontation to some specific extent, are words that possess a singular meaning. They are not the only solution to world problems. Conflict develop because of geographical barriers, cultural differences, excessive national pride, lack of communication, desire for economic power, and historical apathy. Each of these obstacles to world harmony can be overcomed by peaceful negotiations. Why then, if a man must scale a mountain in order to learn how another group of men live, he is not likely to make the necessary effort? For unless he mingles with men of another culture, he cannot understand their way of life. Unless he understands their way of life, he probably will not respect them. Unless he respects them, he will often judge them unfairly. No doubt, conflict results. Until men can communicate verbally, there can be no deep "Respect & Understanding" between them. Cheers!
