Love thy neighbours. Part 1

Living together is one of the thing that human beings have to learn in life.
It's not easy. Indeed, I find it very difficult. I am an individualistic person, and I have a real tough time dealing with relationship. Sometimes I'm scared to begin one because it might not end well and hurt me. No one wants to be hurt, do they?
But without companion, we humans feel lonely.
I can't help but thinking that human beings are created to bond. To see how well we could tolerate each other. Why 'tolerate'?

I'm a big fan of Piaget and Vygotsky. In his research, Piaget mentioned about individual differences. Hence, it justifies why humans are of different personalities. These personalities may be influenced by nature or nurture. That's why you might be different than me. (I wrote this from my own perspective. I welcome your opinions too)

The real challenge is, how do we live together despite these differences? In fact, I believe that most problem in the world started because people find than they are different from others. I mean, how do we live in peace when our neighbours partying with loud music every night while we prefer quiet environment after coming back from long hour of works? Think about other simple things, for example you prefer chocolate for your ice cream while others want strawberry. Isn't is obvious that we live in different world?

oh, it's my dinner time. To be continued.
