The answer, sadly, is no. Human beings will never be able to get along.
There's just too many factors to contribute to the contrary. Race, sex, religion, politics, age, sports, fashion, sexual orientation, occupation....just a few of the limitless things that cause people to fight with each other. I have never, ever, not even once, heard these words:
"Well, I disagree, but I respect your opinion."
Never. Usually it's more like, "I hate you and the thing you believe in!"
Or, the more popular, "I hate you and will try to change the way you think!"
Give me a break.
There is a very thin line here that is difficult to see. I pose this question:
You have one person that thinks murder is okay. You have one person who is about to murder someone.
Stopping the person who is about to murder someone is the right thing to do, because murder is wrong. Isn't that right? Would it then also be right to try and change how person #1 thinks, given that logic?
If so, then what do you do about the things where what is right isn't always clean cut? Such as with an atheist. If your religion says it's a sin to denounce God, then it would be right to try and convince said person there is a God. But this may only seem right from YOUR point of view, not theirs. Them not believing in God isn't hurting anyone else, unlike the person about to murder someone.
This is why people will never get along.
