From my experience, I think one’s default stance is to assume that one’s opinion is correct all the time and even wonder why the whole world does not think in the same way. However, it takes a lot of self awareness to be able to understand that you are the kind of person who does not listen to anyone else’s opinion but expects others to listen to yours. We as people have to make the conscious effort to be more accommodating of other people’s point of view. If we do so, maybe we can all learn to live together peacefully.

Actually while writing this comment, It just occurred to me that I should write a post on emotional intelligence because one of the pillars of emotional intelligence is self awareness. 😊
