People in today's world share so much in common, they buy the same iPhone, they eat the same food, they drink the same beverage and even watch the same show.
Paradoxically, we all think differently, even the slightest difference in thoughts is counted. We have competing values, commitments, and motivations. All these are a result of the way we were brought up and of course the environment we lived in for the past few decades.
Society's competitive approach to resolving the conflict and differences tends to center on "winning as much as you can." Though much good has come from the skillful art of compromise, where both sides give on their positions until an acceptable middle point is reached, neither side ends up truly pleased.
What a waste to have differences drive people to the lowest common denominator between them! What a waste to fail to unleash the principle of creative cooperation in developing solutions to problems that are better than either party's original notion.
