It's funny how we humans always tend to get into 'groups' then get paranoid about other 'groups' and constantly stay in fear or some form of discomfort. We have in a broad sense 'countries' which are nothing more than lines on a map. Those from Country A feel that they are different from those from Country B , they feel smug and superior to their neighbours because they are better at some stuff than their neighbours. People from Country B feel that the nighbouring Country A is opressing them / feel jealous / insert whatever dumb excuse here / and use it as an excuse to be hostile/competetive , this then proceeds bring about dissatisfaction and leads to bad stuff ...
This is just the general model, you can see that the same analogy can be applied to social status, race, states, political beliefs, religion and even ideology. Seems to me that we humans are just looking for an excuse to band together and look down on other people ....
I see it everytime a bunch of people from one race makes fun of another . When one country thinks that it's way of doing things is better and tries to impose it's beliefs on other countries, when religious people go around trying to convince others that their beliefs are 'wrong' and only their religion is the 'correct' one that offers salvation.
Sigh
When are we going to look around , open our eyes and realize that no matter what the colour of our skin is, no matter what our ideologies are, no matter what god we pray to , no matter where we choose to live .. we all all brothers and sisters (in a wide sense of the term). We don't even need to accept the differences , we just have to remember that different people have different tastes, opinions and such and we shouldn't be quick to hate or disrespect people for that.
Just give peace a chance , look through the other guys point of view before we condemn or look down on people ..... sometimes you might find that they aren't all that bad.
