People. There are a few billion of us and we don't actually "get along", we don't really have universal beliefs. Are we doomed? Not really. Read on.
I remembered I've read something similar here. It talks about druids, but most importantly for our discussion, about living in a world with no beliefs agreed by all. I am making clear now that I am not going to talk about religion, but only how people got along with different life perspectives. And were there many..? Oh yes. Grabbing a few lines of text from the source:
Some ... may feel themselves to be animists, pantheists, polytheists, monotheists or duotheists. Others will avoid choosing any one conception of Deity, believing that by its very nature this is unknowable by the mind.
Just a few more lines would actually say what I wanted to point out:
There is no ‘sacred text’ or the equivalent of a bible in Druidism and there is no universally agreed set of beliefs amongst Druids.
Whether they have chosen to adopt a particular viewpoint or not, the greatest characteristic of most modern-day Druids lies in their tolerance of diversity: a Druid gathering can bring together people who have widely varying views about deity, or none, and they will happily participate in ceremonies together, celebrate the seasons, and enjoy each others’ company – realising that none of us has the monopoly on truth, and that diversity is both healthy and natural.
What is mostly highlighted here is reciprocated tolerance. World views are not imposed on others and others are not imposing theirs on yours. This is different than just ignoring. They would still come together and seek knowledge and understanding, also highlighted:
Druids seek above all the cultivation of wisdom...
Now, whatever our beliefs, I think it is in our power to have such reciprocated understanding and that it's effects are the possibility of communicating while having different opinions and peace.
