Genetic and environmental factors play a huge role in terms of one’s perspective. Historically, there has been a great deal of miscommunication and misinterpretation between men and women, for example. This has been going on for centuries and has been difficult to eradicate even in contemporary society. So what is the solution? I do not know.

There is also a lot of truth in that one needs to delve deeper, perhaps be more analytical, and not accept statements at face value. Some conversations warrant more explanation and an ability to further translate ideas before one runs to judgement. When one is upset, it is never the time to react. It is better to wait until intense feelings have dissipated, so that one does not make unflattering comments in haste, which one may later regret and can’t be readily dismissed.

In any case, we are all flawed beings, so harboring anger and resentment is never a healthy or practical option for anyone. Life is too short to alienate people, forgiveness is the rule I live by …and love should always supersede hate.

Introspective and thought provoking post! Thank you for your great insight–
