In the eyes of a religious person, having an abortion is a capital sin. Whereas, for an assaulted woman, in case she got pregnant, abortion may be the only solution.
Still, everyday I am witness of people mindlessly ignoring and denying every other truth but their own. We, as human beings, are limited. That is the first truth we must accept. Like any other human being, no matter how smart, dynamic or capable you are, you only have 24 hours a day. At a global scale, it doesn't matter how many experience you have, or how many situations you have faced. The conclusions you have come up to, the life lessons you have learned, your emotional experience, are infinitesimal and are called your own reality.
Your reality is not my reality.
If you want to respect, to be listened to, and most of all, to be understood, you have to make the first step and respect, listen and understand. If you come in contact with my reality, you only have two options: understand me or make me your enemy.
If you try to impose me your reality, I will fight it, because it has no real value to me. You live your life, I live mine. Our experiences are different.
I look at religions, and I come to realize that all think that they hold the ultimate truth, and all their religions are wrong. Isn't that so human-like, and not God-like at all? To believe that you are the best and all others are lying and deceiving? That's a laugh!
The same is with people discriminating others regarding skin color, gender, sexual orientation, culture, habits and a thousand more reasons. The only reasonable thing is to accept, tolerate and understand. You can not fight 7 billion people, can you? If you can't do that for the people that surround you, go mind your own business, life and truth.
Respect, accept and value others opinion. You have your opinions, value system in two word, like everybody else. It is true that some people stand more firm on their feet and have a stronger value system than others, but everybody has a value system, and deserve a chance to express feelings and emotions.
We all think that our problems are the biggest, that our life is the toughest and our life experiences are the most meaningful. It is just an illusion! You are not much valuable than the person near you. Until you learn to find yourself in each and every person you come along, you will not understand your role on this Earth. If you were better than all the people on this planet, you wouldn't have been born here, handling the same problems we all do, living and dying the same as we all do. We shouldn't look for answers in our differences, but in our similarities.
So, next time you want to criticize someone, put yourself in their boots for a little. Try and live their experiences. Then think about it.
Have a nice weekend!
