How can we get along with each other in a world with so many divisions?
In my view, one reason there are a lot of divisions is because we tend to reduce others to a label, a view, a political party, and of course it is often the view that we are against. For example, this would be like a Christian reducing an atheist to just being an atheist, instead of look at other aspects, like hobbies, areas of agreement, etc. I know that politics is a big driving force behind divisions because politicians are good at getting us to focus on our differences, and they even highlight them even so that people are influenced into choosing just one side and hating the other.
Thoughts please...
Do you agree with my personal assessment?
What else causes divisions and how can we get along?
