"Other-ism" is quite a common phenomenon that it causes trouble this days.

Along with social media, "Other-ism" has become so contrast. Distinction between a guy wearing a red underwear and a red boxer is two separate things, more like a "Black and white" thing. Okay, let me note, the boxer and briefs (underwear) is a joke. You do not want to "other" people for no absolute reason. Don't make an enemy when there isn't one. But then, i find this is common nowadays, and there's a few variables i am aware of (i call it variables, universal laws, but yea whatever)

1) It's always about other people.

It is always about other people. Everyone has their own agenda, In social circle, you notice this with your friends about not wanting the guy in charge to be a leader, or that even the most "moral" and "righteous" people who said other people are unwashed and deserve to die in hell. They have their own agenda as well.

Their agenda is their religion of choosing. You can tell me what they do is "right", But i want you to consider that i study religion myself as well. Let's not get into that. :)

2) Inexperience

I see this too often with girls who are inexperienced, and guys too. I do this often when i was very young. But as i become more "sinful", i see two sides of the equation.

3) People will look at what you do to other people.

Guys whom often say other people suck, and that the girl they talking to, should hang out with him, only for the girl to suffer cognitive dissonance, wondering why you talking to other people when they "suck".

and my Conclusion = Objective Reasoning is important to prevent Resentment.

"Other-ism" is a common thing, even among friends. Just like guys who are good with women, we "other" nice guys. and if the Objective Reasoning outweighs far the "Other-ism", it has less likely outbreak of resentment.
