We have a tendency to believe that our thoughts are universal truths. That not only are our opinions correct but every moral person must have the same thoughts - WRONG.
It is a very humbling thought that for every view/opinion we have that there is someone, somewhere that has the exact opposite view with the same amount of passion we have. The best example of this is abortion. People on both sides of the debate are just as passionate as the other side that their view is morally correct. Supreme Court decision frequently come down to a single vote, republicans vs democrats, conservations vs liberals are all examples of the diversity of thought among people.
While it is important to have opinions and to stick to your own values it is also important to recognize that others may not agree with you and that is okay.
