I find meaning in religion and in what I see as my culture. And, why not?
right, personally
we all take comfort in our own familiar beliefs
but i would hope
you don't count anyone who has different beliefs
as your automatic sworn enemy
and even if you did, the point i'm trying to highlight here
is that the "religious differences" are superficial distraction
and they simply mask a more primal power struggle
If that would be so, my mom would have been my automatic sworn enemy and I would have been hers. Since this was not the case, I saw that relationships are complex and what I dislike and disrespect about another human being, needs not to condemn him or her on the whole.
But I was direct towards her and she towards me. We had our battles and debates.
It's better to fight openly than in secret.
I know what you mean.
