You would think that human beings are intelligent mammals. What do they say? Intelligence is what separates us from the animals. But in some occasions we act worse than animals themselves. Why is it that when something happen between to parties, the faster most likely route to take is the path to conflict? And what is this about diplomacy? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not taking about politics. As a matter of fact I hate even the word. I’m talking about the fake attempt to resolve a conflict without having the best interest at hand.
In general, when most human beings do something, usually it is done with their own interests at hand. If this action is done in a matter that does not fit the conception of a well done action for the order human being, then it is taken as a symbol of personal attack. Then the conflict starts.
Can we all realize that we all have a different conception of reality? What for some is consider a well done deed, others take it as the most wretched action in the face of this earth.
We need to start using the one thing that separates us from the animals in order to behave better than they do. We need to start using our brains. We need to start thinking to realize that we all as individuals also have individual thoughts. Each one of our brains is like a complete different planet. How do we know that what is blue for someone is not really black to another? What kind of proof do you have to support this idea? Have you gotten inside their brain and see the color with you own eyes thru their eyes?
When in a conflict, realize that for the other person the actions you took are wrong. You would have to explain to this person why the actions you took are right in your thoughts. Hopefully if the two of you are homo-sapiens then you both will understand and come to a compromise. Not that you will ever convince one hundred percent the other person that what you did is right, but that they would understand why it is right to you and it was not intended in malice.
