Hi Guys,

IF someone do not like your race/etc, learn that he is at a different lift floor.

Most of my past acquaintances or probably, most of the whole world, especially those defending their religions. I find there's a huge miscommunication going on and nobody notices. One example from the world, Westerners think that this certain religion is violent. The thing is, this particular religion and it's followers tend to straight away jump and defend their ideology of life.

Basically you have one side who attacks an idea of life and the other who did not know how to respond.

You have Westerners hating this group because:

- Violence on tv
- Oppression of women
- Killing journalist

and here you have this particular group of people who says

- my religion is not like that
- my religion doesn't teach that
- that's not us.

The idea of the "prosecutor" so to speak, which is Westerners here is pointing to the defendant, thus wanting them for responsibility. While on the other hand, you have the defendant who have his ideology stained by unfortunately a group of people who go around killing people. The miscommuncation here is

- Responsibility
- Clashing of ideas
- Expectations

Important: Until you understand why and where people come from, Both sides are just going to shout at each other, without resolution. To put it this way, I am on the 18th floor and you are on the 6th floor, We just can't communicate with each other because we are both coming from different lift floors.

This is what is happening in the world. Cognitive Dissonance, Different Stance and too rigid to move out and understand why people look at you in a certain way. All parties are at lost.
