Hi Roland ... yes and lack of thought; also consideration of others ... love the quotes you've given us - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteLove your comments. :-) Have a great rest of April,Hilary!
DeleteThe quote by Soren truly resonates. I am noting this down!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, even if we don't understand someone's perspective, it is important to be sympathetic towards them. In other word rather than giving an instant reaction there should be thoughtful action. Words hurt and can't be taken back. (Individual level)
Difference of opinion sure is a cause of contention for most world problems - but only dialogue and mutual respect is the way.
Everyone we meet is having a harder time than it appears to us. I try to remind myself of that during each day. Thanks for visiting and talking with me. :-)
DeleteLack of a wanting to understand, perhaps. Also greed. And the resulting lack of empathy.
ReplyDeleteI believe you're right: people are too self-focused to see much beyond themselves these days. So good to see you here, Inger. :-)
DeleteI think many of them do. A lack of understanding and communication.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. :-(
DeleteLack of understanding fuels a lot of trouble.
