With more than 8 billion people in the world the chance of everyone seeing eye to eye with one other is nearly impossible. This conflict of thoughts can lead to conflicts of actions, where each side has their own reason of truth and will close their mind to the opinions of others even if it means preventing a war. Keeping the peace throughout the world will only come if we respect each other enough that we dont try and change the minds of those whose mind is already made up because this discourse is seen as an attack on their personal beliefs. This doesn't mean that we should roll over and let someone else's version of the truth transform our own way of life it just means you do you and I'll do me with peace in mind. There is no amount of discussion that can be made to get someone to see what you are telling them as truth because your truth is seen as a contradiction to their alternative views. Alternative views wouldnt be an issue if our actions didn't impede on our neighbours lifestyle but when there are 8 billion possible opinions in our world we have to be big enough and grow the fuck up to do the mature thing and just get along. Our difference of opinion shouldn't tear us away from what should be considered our shared ultimate goal, peace. Expanding a prosperous civilzation requires us to be civil with each other otherwise we are a lot closer to a devolved society than we think we are. So ask yourself do you want to be better or would you rather live your life in a backward state of mind ?
