How is it so difficult for people to understand each other?

Katrine 2022-03-21 09:01:11

But in reality, there are more factors that cause the gap between people:

Regardless of skin color, race, belief, gender, income, values...

All these differences may cause misunderstanding and prejudice between people.

And these misunderstandings and prejudices often bring unnecessary conflicts.

These conflicts, in turn, have stimulated more misunderstandings and prejudices.

In such a vicious circle, our distance seems to only get farther and farther.

But is it really necessary?

Can different people really not understand each other and coexist peacefully?

Movies talk about how prejudices and conflicts between people stimulate each other and go back and forth.

Although more than ten years have passed, watching it again, what the movie says seems to be what is happening around us right now.

The only shortcoming of the movie is exactly the same:

The story is too complete, but it makes people feel untrue.

Reconciliation in the movie is easy, but in reality, all of us know:

It is easier said than done to untie each other's knots, understand and tolerate each other.

Today, we seem to be in such a world of mutual distrust and prejudice.

The same is true whether it is between people or between countries.

You think I want to hurt you, I think you are discriminating against me.

The quarrel became louder and louder, and no one wanted to listen to what the other party was saying.

Everyone thinks that the other party is the one who is unreasonable and full of prejudice.

As a result, the conflict escalated until the conflict broke out.

Then, the prejudice is continuously verified by itself:

You see, he really wanted to hurt me.

We used to think that the Internet will bring people closer together.

In reality, more barriers have been created.

On the Internet, we can more easily choose people who stand in the same position as ourselves.

Those who disagree with us are all classified as "non-self races," and "their hearts must be different."

We affixed various labels to them: "cents", "sex days", "common knowledge", "the Virgin", "female boxing", "straight male cancer"...

Everyone is talking to himself.

Everyone is criticizing others for being prejudiced, saying that others are sitting on a crooked buttocks, and there is a problem with the three views...

There was noisy voice, but there was no consensus.

In such a field of public opinion, people who disagree with each other are already considered polite.

Defamation, abuse, and insults have become commonplace.

What's more sad is to use a report to deprive the other party of the opportunity to speak.

If we can't stop labeling, we can't start with ourselves, let go of our prejudices, listen to other people's voices attentively, and tolerate each other's differences. In the future, such things will probably not be rare.

    The coat of collision is actually about collision, while the coat of race is about human nature. Humanity is good, labels are no big deal. It’s okay to explain the circle, don’t ask too much, isn’t it, because the proposition of fate is actually very complicated

    The advanced way of telling ordinary stories has to do with the racial issues that the West will never eliminate. All I care about is that the little girl is fine. . .

Crash quotes

  • Lara: It's a really good cloak.

  • Lucien: You watch the Discovery Channel?

    Anthony: Not a lot.

    Peter: They got some good shit on that channel.

    Lucien: Every night there is a show with somebody shining a little blue light and finding tiny specks of blood splattered on carpets and walls and ceiling fans, bathroom fixtures and special-edition plastic Burger King tray cups. The next thing they show is some stupid redneck in handcuffs who looks absolutely stunned that this is happening to him. Sometimes the redneck is actually WATCHING the Discovery Channel when they break in to arrest him. And he still can't figure out how on earth they could've caught him!

    Lucien: Psst. Do I look like I wanna be on the Discovery Channel?

    Anthony: No.

    Lucien: Then get the fuck outta my shop.
