I have always thought that it should be so simple. All we have to do is treat others like we'd like to be treated ourselves. I don't know how that can be such a difficult concept, but it seems near impossible to carry out.
I am not so sure that the concept of national pride is the culprit. In my opinion being proud of who you are and where you come from is a good thing. I think the problem is when the idea that others are beneath you seeps in.
Being proud of ourselves and our country should not exclude the ability to be accepting that others can have the same honor and pride. We should all be able to accept that about others and get rid of all the polarization that divides and destroys peace.
