When it is dif­fi­cult to accept the other.

This is the thir­teenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the gene­ral decline of civi­li­ty. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

Dif­fi­cult to accept the other. This accep­tance inevi­ta­bly has its defects and its qua­li­ties. It’s a com­mon mis­take to think that humans are per­fect machines without their weak­nesses. First­ly, because it’s total­ly sub­jec­tive, and second­ly, because it’s impos­sible. We are imper­fect, we have to admit it and accept it. Does this mean that we can’t improve our­selves? I don’t think so. We have come a long way since the days of great conquests and wars. Man used to wage war to solve impor­tant pro­blems. Nowa­days, thanks to res­pec­tive basic edu­ca­tion, we can expect that sol­ving our pro­blems is pos­sible without violence.

It is in this spi­rit that I am wri­ting this series of posts. I want people to make the effort to see that the other per­son is imper­fect, but that they can improve. This phi­lo­so­phy has long hel­ped me to see the world in a new light. In my intel­lec­tual youth, that is, in my ear­ly twen­ties, I was outra­ged by the imper­fec­tion of the world and had not lived enough to expe­rience the chal­lenges of being an adult human myself. Today, I see a world that has all the makings of a per­fect world, even in these dif­fi­cult times, the solu­tion is in the care we take of others.
