Group-related Respectful Values

I believe that a person may sometimes have a difficult time in understanding others' point of views. For example, I think a major conflict that some people like to feel is that a person fails to respect the other person's rights by doing something they disapprove of. In the circle of friendships, I think we all have our own different tastes and differences. By not wanting to come to terms with some of these things, it surely sometimes leaves room for outbursts or frustrations from a person who is trying to put up with it.

One of the major issues that I feel is that we sometimes may not closely look at how many times the offense happened, the time intervals that it occurs in, and end up weighing our own preferences over the individual as the de facto standard because we feel the need to change them to what makes us feel happy. It can even be bunched up into an agreement of a small group, and they may see upon it as being totally right! In a way, I think if we are not careful about accepting others' weaknesses and their way of going about it, it can surely cause tension for both sides or be disastrous for one side in the end.

I believe that collisions with other people are bound to happen with the more people we interact with. It is inevitable that conflict may be felt by someone by placing a sensitive insinuation that may feel edgy to her. Depending on the person, he or she may feel a necessity of becoming defensive or just going along with the crowd. I think arguing for the sake of self-defense about something the accused person did not do is a really difficult situation to be dealt with for the poor lad. It would take a lot of thinking, but basically what makes sense for me is to try to continue exercising self-control or living for the Lord. Letting it be known through communication is pretty much a difficult obstacle to overcome.
