I absolutely love this. It reminds me of the quote , "Be the change you want to see in the World!" Your blog is very timely for the growing issues and conflicts of society. So much hate and indifference causing division forcing whole people groups to "pick sides." I find that there's much more we have in common with others whom we may differ or disagree through personal bias or opposing opinions. But if we can break down the walls of hostility to genuinely try to understand and respect any stance or ideology that does not conform to our convictional resound! I believe with all of my heart we can as if to walk in one another's shoes find unity and peaceful middle ground! I've realized in my own experience that nothing ever works out for positive change or resolve when we're not willing to cross the barriers of indifference to break down walls and build friendly bridges on sincere honest relationships with kindness and patience! God bless you my friend we're so thankful for the connection I have faith and hope your dreams of peace are achievable don't ever give up it takes a lot of risk, sacrifice, perseverance and hard work Shalom!
Yes, it really is the basis of the peace among difference that we need in our world. First we must learn to have that even within ourselves, at least some of the time, at least to know how to access it. Then when in situations of conflict with others there is the possibility we might access that same skill then and find a way to meet within mutual respect and even collaboration around those things where we do share values. This is how we avoid the trap of "letting the perfect be the enemy of the good," where people who 90% agree still can't work together.
