The others

«If you are not with me, then you are with my enemy» That is a harsh judgement we take when people we care doesn’t think about us the same way as we do. 

Have you ever experienced a situation where you found yourself at odds with someone you care about deeply? It can be incredibly disheartening when the people we hold dear don’t align with our thoughts or beliefs. The quote, «If you are not with me, then you are with my enemy,» encapsulates the intensity and weight of such a predicament.

In times like these, it’s important to remember that differing perspectives are a natural part of life. No two individuals think exactly alike, and that is what makes our world so diverse and fascinating. While it can be challenging to comprehend or accept opposing viewpoints, it’s essential to approach these situations with empathy and an open mind.

Instead of immediately categorizing individuals as enemies or friends based on their alignment with our beliefs, perhaps we should strive to engage in meaningful dialogue. True understanding and growth often come from respectful conversations that allow us to explore different perspectives and challenge our own preconceived notions. It is through this exchange of ideas that we can bridge gaps and foster deeper connections with the people we care about.

Remember, it is possible to maintain strong relationships while acknowledging and respecting each other’s differences. It is not about forcing others to agree with us, but rather about cultivating an environment where diverse thoughts and opinions can coexist. By fostering an atmosphere of inclusivity and understanding, we create a space where meaningful conversations and personal growth can take place.

Sarte says that hell is other people because we can never know what they think, how will they act and why the do things, but instead of worrying about that, we can be sure that we can construct our reality and personality thanks to the others by imitating and identifying our thoughts on to others.

So, next time you find yourself in a situation where someone you care about holds contrasting views, take a moment to pause, reflect, and engage in a dialogue that fosters mutual respect. Embrace the opportunity to learn from one another, as these instances can lead to personal growth, deeper connections, and more harmonious coexistence.
