Does extremism of belief in politics, religion, racial views, etc create strife and divides people from others?
If people:
-questioned their core beliefs (the ones that were ingrained in them from birth, ie Religious, Atheist, Democrat, Republican, Pro-Earth, Vegan, etc),
-tried to look at all of the sides of an issue before taking a stance,
-let their stances be a little fluid (not flaky, but fluid) rather than rigid and immoviable,
-accepted the stances of others as possibly valid rather than blindly condemning them
-and tried to learn from people who have different opinions,
Would we be stronger as a community, stronger thinkers, and less able to be manipulated politically or otherwise by personal biases and unfounded fear?
