First off, none of us had the opportunity to choose where we came from at birth.
We all found ourselves in our respective place of origin and then grew to promote these places.
This means that we would have still promoted the other persons' places, had we evolved from there and hold their views; regiously, culturally and/or politically.
It is pertinent to note that as we so much love and cherish and would even defend our own places of origin at all costs, so do others love theirs.
It is however, meaningless to condemn others in values and views for the sole aim of projecting ourselves above the rest and then expect them to cheer us.
We often "eschew" others to shun biased stances on issues where as we "chew" the same substance while we make such points; a true definition of hypocrisy!
As we tend to be smart at hiding behind any guise to express our sentimental and emotional imbalance, others are even smarter and would rightly ex ray through our thick flesh of deceit and then hit back at our skeleton of two-faced bones, and it hurts.
So let us all desist from outright abuses, castigating and condemnations of other people's regions, religions, ethnicities, leaders, etc if we wouldn't like same to be done to us as we would fight to defend ours even if it were possible that nature itself traded our places with those who we despise so much often times for no other reason but blind sentiments and emotions.
God bless us all.
