I don't think it's an easy question to answer, and one that I think will be answered differently for each person. I do think right now there seems to be a tendency to draw black and white lines too quickly and without really understanding where other people are coming from. And I don't need to agree with them to understand them.
I do know that I don't hold the same opinions and beliefs of a lot of people. It's unrealistic — and inhuman —that I would dissociate myself from all of them.
People have many beliefs and weigh them differently. Trying to figure out a single line or lines to separate myself from others is clearly not going to be an easy task. I'd rather find things I have in common with people and build on those. Then hopefully we'll be able to come to terms on those that we don't. It seems hard to imagine that we could do the latter without at least some of the former.
