If you don’t like the ‘other side’ because they seem prejudiced, arrogant or narrow-minded, it doesn’t help to judge, condescend or dismiss them. Even though it’s difficult to open your heart and mind to those who have dramatically different values, it’s the best way to narrow the divide. Demonizing them only increases disdain on both sides and makes the disconnect worse. If you sincerely desire internal and external peace, don’t wait for the other side to initiate it. Actively take the first step yourself by altering your own perception in order to…

Re-humanize them.
