It is interesting to me that as I read the answers to posted questions and chat with people, I find I don't understand the rationale behind others responses at all until its explained.
Questions about love, sexuality, and death in particular.
I find much I do relate to, probably more often than not. But it is the differences that fascinate me.
When it comes to politics and other areas where there is a wide divergence of opinion i find that people largely have the same motives behind their beliefs. They simply have incredibly different strategies to address those motives. ( Motives being, for example: Safety, autonomy, financial security, ect)
Their response to love, death, sexuality...same types of responses overall.
So i wonder what made my understanding differ so dramatically in these odd areas.
It doesn't matter what the difference is, the puzzle I enjoy is the "why" of it.
"Questions about love, sexuality, and death" or "Safety, autonomy [and]...security" are among the key questions, are they not? And it is our core values that inform our understanding, and thus our responses to these questions. What values might you hold that influence your 'dramatic difference?'
