Why do a lot of people think "different" is wrong? email this discussion to a friend?

I know not everyone is that way, but lets face it a lot of people are.
If you do not believe what they do your wrong.
If you do not make the same life choices you are wrong.
If you are not the exact same as them you are wrong.

I personally think we need to respect each others differences. We need to have tolerance for people that have different cultures and beliefs. Wouldn't it be a boring world if we were all the same?
If you want the freedom and respect to live your life how you want to, then you need offer that same respect and freedom to everyone else too.
What do you think?

people dont understand something different, theyre not usally exposed to that type of different they clam it different cause its not their way of lie, so they shun the fact of the act that is different cause they dont want to accept it ..say like if green aliens were walking this planet like regular normal people, some floks you welcome them and accept them the way they are others would not and call them different lets find something different about these people so that we wont like them and hate all of their people ..and this example can touch on all bases and races ...but the differnt people dont really give a crap of what the others or regular people have to say cause, theyre different and speical so were all different

Good point. Sad but true. I just do not understand it sometimes. Now do not get me wrong I am not a saint. But I TRY to be as open minded as I can.

yeah yeah i mean there are somethings some people arent going to agree with or accept period, like some people in the world marry their own siblings to keep the family bloodline going to people eating uncooked meat like straight out of the animal itself thats their life style ..thats normal to them im not going to bash them or wish them to hell ...no im not going to do that, if they can have a nice conversation with me than their alright ..its all about the personality of things within that person ...a person can have a simple nice conversation with you and you wouldnt know that he or she is lets a vegan, that doesnt approve of meat but you guys are having a conversation at the super market and you have a cart full of ribs and lamb chops ....see that particular person who is a vegan approves of you even tho they might not come over to dinner with you lol they like you as a person ...i never go off of the 1st impression of someone nor shouldnt anyone else and maybe the world would be a different place

I suppose there's an element of fear of the unknown maybe? If someone sees that you are different in any way to them, it maybe scares them and they might feel insecure in their own views/beliefs? On the other hand though, it might just be a simple case of those people being so arrogant, that they don't think any other life view or activity that's different to their own, is right or valid.


myLot reputation of 92/100. lilwonders123 (1286)   ranked 3,419 out of 24,772 in life  3 months ago

that they don't think any other life view or activity that's different to their own, is right or valid.

That pretty well hits the nail on the head. I do not understand it, but I see it a lot.

Thanks for replying so quick....and yes I'm surrounded by it in my own life - even my friends can't accept anything slightly out of what they see as "normal".

yes, i too feel that when we are not the same as others, most of the people tend to think that they are wrong. i guess people just have this mindset that they are right. and even if they are wrong, most of them are unwilling to admit it.
we all think differently and react differently as you said. but most people still expect others to follow them especially in a really conservative society. if we want freedom and respect to live our life how we want to, they we need to offer that to others too. at the same time, if people can also be that way to us, then it would be so much better but unfortunately this is not the case usually.


myLot reputation of 92/100. lilwonders123 (1286)   ranked 3,419 out of 24,772 in life  3 months ago

I agree, thank you for your response.
