"The lack of understanding brings about a lack of tolerance and true love, which results in the alienation of people......understanding and love are values that transcend all dogma." -- we may look with suspicion  upon someone who is different from us, particularly someone from a different culture, race, religion, nation. The person we do not know or understand is easily  perceived our enemy. It happens in our schools with bullying, in places of work, between nations, in all settings of relationships....understanding someone does not necessarily mean we will agree with them, but we will see them in a different way.
