From your side is black and white from my side

While still sitting in elementary school, I was involved in a heated debate with a boy in my class. I've forgotten what our debate topic, but I do not forget the lessons that I received that day. I'm sure once that I was right, while he was wrong. Instead, he is also convinced that he is right and I was wrong. So we decided to give teachers a very important lesson. He told us to go to the front of the class. I stood on one side of the table, while the boy on the other side. In the middle of the table there is one big, round object. I see clearly that the object is black. Then our teacher asked the child what color the object. "White", he said. I do not believe it, because the object is clearly black. We're back with a fierce debate, this time about the color of the object. Our teacher then told me to stand in place of the child before, while the boy had been standing in my place. We changed places, and now our teacher asked me what color the object. I had to answer, "White", because the object does have two different sides of the color. From this angle, the visible color is white, while the other side it is black. That day I got an important lesson. We should be able to put yourself in someone else and see the situation through their eyes so that we can truly understand their perspective. So also when we look at other religions? We tell ourselves that true religion and other religions are wrong. Is it true that you think black, but white in my opinion? When we see and understand and want tolerance with other religions, it will create peace, right? Mind our own religion and do not interfere in the affairs of other religions with a quasi-hero of truth. What do you think?
