Understanding

So I have been thinking a lot about just about everything lately... Politics, Religion, Relationships, Business, Personal Evaluation and Education. And I think of how almost everything has giant road blocks. I mean There seems to be too much argueing and not enough trying to understand one another. In Political "battles" it seems that too many times people go off emotion and just a basic dislike or prejudice against the other side, Even if they don't know what the "other side" is even trying to do or where they are coming up with their reasoning.

I think before there can be any major headway in any one of these topics or situations there needs to be calm understanding.
