On the importance of mutual understanding

With the great development of our society, nowadays many people are so focused on their own interests that they barely consider the feelings of others. As a result, misunderstandings, or even conflicts, arise.

Everyone is independent. So, there will always be differences between us. That is the reason why we have contradiction. How can we solve this problem? The answer is mutual understanding.

As you know, the world is full of diversity, the people belong to different culture, language and faith, just like us, they represent numerous tradition, custom and value, it is easier to perceive that people are different than they are the similar. So, achieving mutual understanding is not just a matter of importance, but also of necessity.

On the one hand, mutual understanding is the basis of building friendships and relationships. Only the two sides of people understand each other, can they put away the difference and cooperate with each other. This may help solve the most difficult issues among different cultures, countries or communities. Difference exists all the time, but sometimes people need to reach the

agreement, making things work efficiently, if each of them understand each other and are willing to making agreement, it will be good for them to keep the long-term cooperate relationship.

On the other hand, mutual understanding can make people avoid conflicts. It is impossible for people to agree with the others all the time, they have different cultures, so they will deal with things in different ways, maybe some will against the other’s way. At this moment, we need to respect people’s religion, never argue with them, just to avoid conflicts. Furthermore, for people who are friendly to each other, this mutual understanding can definitely strengthen the love and friendship between them.

For example, when friends get together, different people may have different expectations of entertainment. If everyone is stubborn, the group may be dismissed because of the divergence. At this time, the mutual understanding can make a difference. People will make a compromise after transpositional consideration. Then the harmonious relationships come again.

During a conversation, both the speaker and the listener can do much to help gain mutual understanding. For the speaker, he should try his best to express himself clearly, correctly, vividly and forcefully. For the listener, he should also make every effort to be very attentive. Most importantly, both parties should take a friendly attitude towards the other side.

In conclusion, we should share each other’s culture and tradition, so we can come to mutual understanding, making things work better and create a harmonious world.
