It is very easy to comment on other's work.. it is very easy to advise them... but you cannot understand what the life is like for people differrent than you... What do you think?

You said a very beautiful thing. Everyone is in misconception that he knows everything and acts according to preconceptions.

I think what you say is very true. And that is the great thing about something like myLot. Hopefully we will all learn a great deal about how other people live and about the different cultures around the world.

That's correct and a problem on an international site like myLot. Many members who haven't travelled assume that the whole world is like theirs. They mention things which are normal for them and think that everyone knows what they're writing about.

@ichchhe_mrityu And that is why I have already asked *many* times to add the name of the country where a member lives on the account page. Strangely, some members tell me that they have 'their reasons' not to mention their country. I have no idea what that can mean.

True. Some of the members I've observed here are totally following Adolf Hitler's mentality. The superiority complex is the right term for them . But I believe if you are knowledgeable and has empathy towards other. Geographical identification than is not so important . When you interact , everybody should fall in love with your words, not your nationality.

Yes.. geographic identification is not important but that has importance to discuss on several topics... specially we can get to know what is their thinking on similar incidents..

Hence we should empathise with people before advicing or commenting on them.
