There are far too many people that spend far too much time, with the selfish and self-serving belief, that the only thing that really matters is their own life, or perhaps just their own family unit, and therefore make it their point and principle to conduct their life with basically that type of mindset in all that they say and do. A world full of way too many individuals that insist that they have to have their way or that only what they so desire and want actually matters is the type of world, in which there will never be peace, justice, or harmony. All those then that spend an inordinate amount of time, pointing out how this or that person or culture is inferior to them, and therefore is perceived as being lesser than them, have clearly failed to comprehend, that every human being, without exception, is entitled to the exact same list of human rights, and therefore the courtesy of our respect.
The very first thing that some people get so very wrong, is that when human beings are birthed, they are absolutely dependent upon the family unit as well as to society, for their successful upbringing. In other words, none of us are born as an independent adult, but rather there are distinct stages to the development of our human character. So too, what we so learn when we are growing up, comes forth from those that we interact with at home, but also those that are our teachers, friends, and mentors. Indeed, there does come that stage when we are truly sovereign individuals, responsible for our own affairs, but to get to that stage is a process, which takes not only time, but involves a needful connection with others in order to reach that point. This signifies that we have been obligated to engage with others that are outside of our biological family, of which, the role that these others have played in our lives, has been essential to our development in it, which makes them, in many respects, something akin to what a family represents, in essence.
All of what this is saying, is that human connections, one to another, and in particular those relationships, which are healthy and helpful, are necessary for a given person to thus have a successful and fulfilling life. It is through those interactions, that we thereby grow to understand the virtues of camaraderie, friendship, trust, and affection. We find, though, on the other hand, that those that lack having these vital things, often have the most troubling of lives, for those that do not feel that they matter to the other, are often prone to strike out in frustration against their perceived unjust lot.
The objective then, for a good society, is not to focus upon that which seemingly divides us, but instead to concentrate upon that which unites us; so that we recognize better that as fellow human beings, created equally, we are meant to help and to support one another, for we are truly interrelated and interdependent, needing one another to accomplish those necessary things, as family.
