I agree.

It also boils down to fear. There is so much fearmongering going around, it is no wonder people are becoming more afraid of anyone who is not "like us".

It all boils down to lack of LOVE. If only from childhood we are all taught to love everyone dearly, and to overcome hurt, anger and disappointments with love, i think the world would not be as it is. And also if from childhood we were taught not to nurse our PRIDE too much, then we would not be where we are now. PRIDE is the source of all evil while LOVE is the source of all goodness.

But, this  is difficult and needs  much training and self discipline.

I know what you mean.  I'm reminded of a remark I once heard;
"I have two speeds, slow and stop. If you don't like this one you sure
won't be happy with the other."

I had a stroke 6 years ago and do not walk very fast and I have had people honk at me to hurry up and get across the the street...they are in such a hurry they could care less that I might have a problem walking. The funny thing is when someone tries to rush me I get excited and go twice as slow...lol.
