Political correctness

As well as helping to evolve society, political correctness also provides the means for the wolf to profile as the sheep. That is, the means to be deceptive by playing the role that is expected rather than the role that comes naturally from the heart and soul.

Wu-Tang-Clan/Les Nubians Philosophy

The following Philosophical realisation is a product of the Wu-Tang-Clan. "Love is the highest elevation of understanding". The following philosophical realisation is a product of Les Nubians (a  black french female music duo). "What you understand, reflections of yourself".

The two philosophical statements go hand in hand. "Love is the highest elevation of understanding" suggests that it is through the ability to understand someone that one can develop a love for someone. "What you understand, reflections of yourself" suggests that what it is that you can truly understand represents an element of yourself within it and therefore reflects a part of you from within it. Perhaps this is why we generally tend to love members of our family more so than anyone one else, because our family are literally, a reflection of parts of ourselves.

These philosophies then, might help in understanding why certain people may tend to love or hate certain people. It is also possible that somebody might not like someone else because they have not had a chance to get to know what that person is about and therefore cannot understand the reasoning behind that persons behaviour.

Differences between people may be even more pronounced if they belong to a different worldview consciousness. Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze (2008) believes that within the human race there are gaps in consciousness that represent the different worldviews that constitute the human race. The two most polarised worldviews being the Afro-centric worldview and the Euro-centric worldview, which both have a unique way of 'being' and 'seeing' the universe, which defines the rationale or reason behind behaviour. 

The best hope for living in harmony without resentment, is to allow everyone to be who they are and to express themselves without fear of rebuke (as long as it is not harmful to others). To understand and accept that a gap in consciousness exists across the human race, that is a gap between what it is that one person can perceive or see and what another person can perceive or see and therefore accepting the blindspots that exist within our own consciousness instead of trying to impose our own limitations or confines onto others.
