Western thinking is all about boxing things, trying to explain causes and reasons and forgetting the big picture. Eastern thinking sees everything more as a whole and connected all visible and unvisible.
To be an individual thinker and doer and still respect other peoples choices? I want to see myself as a part of the living, breathing thing called Earth with it's all habitants, it doesn't mean I have to agree with everyone else (I don't) and I don't expect them to agree with me (they don't). What I'm sayng is, I think humaity has room for all kinds of opinnions. Even if not as fast as in one generation to see, changes do happen in thinking and politics and values. What is minority today, might be hugely popular or even worshipped in 200 years. Think about it... women might rule the world, men dress in skirts, heterosexuality is not necessary and gay relationships are open and accepted. The aliens live amongs us, saving our planet.
Ouuuuuch... sorrrryyyyy.... Just twisted my brain trying to think outside the box. :lol:
