In the recent times we see that our difference of opinion with people around us has increased. Even with our close family members we have this problem, and it's leading to bitterness in relations to an extent.
One thing we heavily indulge is that we take things very personally and then that disturbs our peace of mind. Everyone is going through a phase or their own experiences, and based on that their opinions are formed. If I have not lived that experience or if I am not in that phase I may not be able to comprehend completely with that person. Empathy is what we need the most at this time.
Just for e.g. people have mixed views on Covid. I do not say that the virus does not exist, it definitely does, but what I believe is that it is blown out of proportion and a lot of fear is inculcated in people around it. Now at the same time, my sister, she was infected with Covid and she had some tough days in hospital, has a different thought, she does believe that the virus is very deadly and all that the government is doing is right. So it is more about one living the experience based on which one forms their belief and again the capacity to rationalize. Now in my sister's case, her Doctor messed up her case by giving her some wrong medication and the complication arose because of that, she does accept that, but then the fear has been so much now in her of what she has gone through that she does not want to think the other way. And from my side I may not able to understand her well, because I have not gone through what she has, so it is best both of us stay on our own paths and not bring our thoughts of this situation into our personal lives, else we are always going to have a conflict.
The whole point is even if we do not agree to certain things with other person, we need to empathize and be nice, rather then trying to put our point across and prove ourselves right for everything. We do not always have to prove it in right or wrong, some things we just need to let go for the best of the relationships. By responding and reacting to every situation we make matters worst then sorting them out. But by just letting go what is not important we can surely have cordiality.
When we keep reacting, we also give away a lot of energy which is not required to be done just to prove our point right.
Everyone has an understanding of leading their life based on their own energy level and frequency, if we try to impose our energy on them, it is rather going to become messy then sorting things out. So best is to Let Go......
It is not worth it to hold on to things, which also involves our own beliefs systems, it is best to be in the flow of life and not getting fixed up to anything.

Very creative and peaceful point of view you offer. I would contend however that the primary point of communication is to share points of view. As you point out very well this so often leads to conflict. The reason is that when we allow 'opinion' into the exchange it cannot be separated from emotional content and when another 'disagrees' with our opinion we subconsciously take it as an attack on our identity. To my mind the empathy you rightly promote can only come from a level of shared emotional experience that is most often lacking. However if we can learn to communicate effectively by embracing our differences and practicing acceptance of them then new understanding and creative ideas emerge. This is also a good mechanism for learning a level of empathy that may not have existed before.
Nicely written perspective you offer. Thanks for the positive vibe...Namaste.
Its very true. With covid especially, people want to either define us as "conspiracy" or "mainstream" on the topic with no room in the middle. Personally I was a little more in the middle, since some aspects of lockdown seemed reasonable but other things didn't make sense to me. Whatever it is, I'd rather try to treat each persons opinion as its own thing
Hello @nainaztengra
Everything that happens in the world is an apparent madness, but for those who see it that way, I also know of people who are very calm, and just stay safe, take care of themselves mentally so as not to be contaminated with so much bad news, I think it is best, I'm not talking about moving aside and ignore the reality, but to be able to have confidence that everything will be fine, and of course, let people live their processes, and help as much as possible.

when I was younger, I spent so much time on it... OMG...:(
then I understood that time is worth to be spent on much more important things, and all popel have a right to have their own opinion, and I don't need to prove my own one all the time.
