One country. Different races. Different religions. Different ages. Different perspectives. Different opinions. All we have to do is to respect each other.
Each person has a different point of view from another. Arguments with regard to this aspect are inevitable and then, contradictions and misunderstanding may rise. Sometimes, this misunderstanding ends up in violence and at the end, both parties regrets the outcome of their actions.
During drinking sessions, when the mood is already up and almost all are already sober, debates and expressing one’s opinion is always present.
Sometimes, it would end up in fist fights and worst, stab wounds and gunshot wounds were inflicted.
All these outcomes may be prevented if all of us know how to respect each other’s point of view and opinion. It is just a matter of self-control and being humble.
One fact that is hard to deny is that some people do not want to end up a loser in every argument so they tend to push their own opinion because of their pride. They do not want to be defeated because their pride will be at stake. This is the hardest thing to be cured, forgetting one’s pride in some circumstances.
Furthermore, some, especially the guys, crave for fights so they intentionally heat up the scene and throw some arguments so that a fight may upsurge.
Pathetic, isn’t it? They crave for fights because fighting satisfies their manliness. I’m not generalizing all the male species but I have guy friends who confirmed this fact.
What is respect? It means being treated with consideration. It means being considerate for other peoples’ feelings. It means listening to people and hearing them. More importantly, respect means treating a person with dignity.
If all of us know what respect is, violence may be prevented. After all, we are living in only one globe. So let’s make an effort to build a peaceful home where everyone respects each other
