People are so separated from each other

Fights and arguments are so common, that we wonder why. People regularly think the worst of others. Instead of giving others the benefit of the doubt, we assume that the other meant to attack, put down, or take advantage of us. In fact, that is not often the case.

We see it in flame wars in online discussion boards. Yet, a simple commitment to always be polite and kind soon puts a stop to this. If we would resolve to do this all the time, people would be more successful at everything they do.
