[Mind's Eye] Re: Just a thought...

One can identify with minds that lived hundreds of years ago so time
does not matter, really.

Maybe you are talking about control as I think there are always going
to be great differences in values, thinking and behavior. We deal with
these differences in positive or negative ways derived from family,
education and other meaningful realtionships. We might feel threatened
by differences- could this be a throwback to survival skills? Would
you prefer humanity to all be the same? Where do we get the idea that
relationships can be ideal in a static sense? And maybe we allow
others to run all over us allowing ourselves to be a martyr or carry a
chip on our shoulder. I have found that compromise and trying to
understand another's point of view can be challenging yet, if
successful, can be like an epiphany and quite beautiful- in this case,
timing matters a great deal. :-)
