If we believe that our way is the only way we put ourselves above others and their beliefs. That is arrogance, what the Greeks called hubris. Our path may be valid for us; however, there are other paths, equally valid, equally leading to the truth, for others. Please respect other cultures, other religions. Cherish the differences of our humanity, in ourselves and in our beliefs.
