When you resent other people for thinking differently than you, in my opinion, that says nothing about the other person, but it does say a lot about you. Imagine a world where every person was exactly like you. Same beliefs, same values, same convictions and thought processes, the same interests, everything. To me, that sounds like an awful, awful world to live in. I like the variety.
