Your observations on human nature is quite accurate and also the actual reason humanity has never been able to live in peace thus far.

This is partly because all things are subjective in nature and the ego loves tunnel vision, there is just no other way it can be for most.

So without being able to see the bigger picture which produces greater understanding, we feel separated and therefore, automatically seek those with whom we can side in order to strengthen our own positionality and to ensure our point of views are validated. This gives us a sense of worth in some sense.

The problem we encounter usually lies within our own expectations of the world around us because no matter which side of the fence we are on, we will always manage to offend someone else. Even having no opinion at all could enrage some.

So I guess it's true what they say... We are all on the same ladder, some above us, some below but at least were all heading in the same direction - just on different levels. Great think piece. Thanks
