Understanding/Accepting other people

This week post is going to be even shorter than usual. Please feel free to comment as I am quite curious about other people's opinion. I have observed that people tend to expect from other people the same things that they expect from themselves. We judge other people´s behavior according to what we would do or how we would behave in the same situation. Therefore if  you think that a career or a job stability is important you will expect other people to pursuit that too. And if they do not consider it important you may judge them for that. And same rules apply to the way other people dress, think or behave. So then people won´t accept other people's way of life, ideology or behavior. They may accept it of course but they would find it weird. So then extrovert people won´t really understand introvert people. Relaxed people won´t understand stressed people, etc and the other way round.

What I believe is that people are different. And we should see them that way. They may behave differently depending on habits, education, customs and so on. An approach to life can work perfectly for someone and be a total disaster for another one. So there is no right or wrong. If we truly want to understand each other we have to realize that not everyone works and behaves the same way.
