Musing on Human Relationships

This week certain questions were on my mind.

1] (same same but different)
All humans are made in God's image, yet are different from one another in terms of background, status, 'frequency' and personality. So is it really possible that all can one get along/ with one another? Why is it that some Christians have problems relating with other fellow Christian/non-Christian?

2] (recalling the incident of the Tower of Babel)
If pride was the issue which caused division/divide among people, would humility be a key to better cohesion/ stronger unity?

After penning down these questions (here) , I found that many ongoing friendships/relationships are taken for granted. We tend to be bothered by the people we cannot get along with, only to realize that bonds between two or more do not form as easily as we would have thought.

As the (Lunar) new year approaches, let us reflect on how we can glorify God in handling our relationships.
