It certainly is Alib, I find it very strange and rude that wherever I go, a pub, restaurant or cafe, people who are sat together don’t actually talk to each other because they’re on their Facebook or some other social media app chatting to someone else. It’s weird!!
So true. I have had people do it on dates, if you can believe it! I can’t believe how it has become such common place that it is seen as acceptable. One of the things I loved about my significant other is that our first date was 2.5 hours of conversation and neither of us looked at our phone once. I miss talking to people!
Ability to be tolerant. People these days aren’t able to accept people that have different views to their own. This has created a society where people are afraid to be open about opinions due to fear of being persecuted
Ability to keep your perspective. With all the we vs. they, fake news vs. truth, fear vs. love, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a balance and keep a positive perspective.
Ability to adapt to change anywhere we find ourselves.

Resiliency and Responsibility. People have a hard time overcoming tumultuous times but also want to blame others instead of accepting their role in what is happening.
since all are imbued with skill(s), then with nurturing and application, one person’s craft can be utilized to improve upon the proficiency of the other. imo, the value is in identification and application of the skill, not the skill itself. skill is an ingredient that in confluence yields the recipe of mankind.
Communication. Within my own experience I have often seen that a lack of communication can lead to undesirable results. Without direct communication, individuals are left to guess and assume about what another person is thinking. I think being able to communicate openly and objectively are important skills to learn.
Empathy. Being able to understand, I mean, REALLY understand, where someone else is coming from makes it easier to understand why they make the decisions that they make.
Commination…Because, then we can understand there religion very well…there will be no discrimination between us…we will learn to respect each other…we will learn to love them… religion is one of the biggest problem in our whole world…For which these discrimination between us is made…And I am Muslim…Maybe most of the people don’t like Muslim people… because they think that we are terrorist…But personally I hate terrorist… because they do this bad things in the name of religion… Which is so bad things…So, I think that communication is the most important part…😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😉😉😉😉😉😉😉😉🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😎😎😎😎😎😎😉😉😉😉😉😉🤗🤗🤗😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😀😀😀😀😀😀
