I apologize, the point I was trying to make is that these groups of people are the groups that people in the U.S. are sharply divided over in their perspectives and/or prejudiced against. A young man must decide how he will handle people that respectively do not hold his views, or the person that outright oppose his views in a fanatical fashion. Will he just believe he is right, or try and find out why someone believes that way? Doing this will allow you to understand your fellow "man" better, and possibly assist in living in this world.

I had actually spent a considerable amount of time on the post, and as I wrote my post, I did not see the alternate meaning of the paragraph. I guess this would be "forgiveness", and also the concept of "seeing things from another person's viewpoint". Both good things to learn.

And maybe we should add being "inquisitive", not in a interrogation fashion, but the desire/need to learn about everything around us. Someone makes a post that is offensive to yourself, do you immediately lash out and declare them an idiot, or, do you ask what the reason and meaning of the post? <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Plus, I think this shows only one thing: You never stop learning.
