#TOTW2 One thing I haven’t learned yet….

Human psychology and other cultures. I have unique friends surrounding me, because I am extremely open to other cultures. For example, I grew up in Tokyo and now go for an elk hunt in Colorado during my autumn. One of my best friends is a Nigerian and I am a godfather for one his son. I feel fortunate to express my thoughts with people from different cultures. Encountering people shapes me and hopefully I am capable of applying good parts of those cultures into my life. However, I haven’t get exposed enough to make my life better. One of my close friends told me that the Middle Eastern people like to have arguments but they don’t keep their emotional attachment during their arguments. Is this even possible? I do not like the American system tending to create category (ex. political views, diet, personnel, etc), it seems a baseball fun club to join and this categorical system makes people to protect their standings from other categories. They argue with their passions and often leave bitter friendships or atmosphere. I feel this is way too much. However, I still have my own preference. Someone tells me my preference is awful, how can I think that “people are different so let it go”. Is it so good to convince others with our factors? Is it really important to convince others with our reliable factors? Am I just a short temper and am trying to learn to avoid the situation makes me feel uncomfortable? I wonder I just don’t have enough confident from my actions, so that is why I tend to get upset when someone disagrees with me? Some people are so calm and trouble free. I am jealous to those people.
