A Wise Man(Rommel Roberts) recently told me the best example to explain the difference in philosophies between different cultures is:
If you had a river & you had a westerner & an African. Both would see the river & try to explain it & understand it but the westerner would be standing on the bank observing it flow by whilst the african would be inside it, swimming along with it trying to make sense of it.
There is no right way or wrong way- their ways of thought patterns, or how they filter information is just different. That is the reason there is so much conflict in this world- people can view or experience the exact same thing yet both perceive it differently hence the distance between us.
Hence Forth, let us step out of our shoes & feel what the other is feeling before we make judgements. Change your view, change your perception & lets diminish the distance between you and me...
Peace, peace, peace...
