people same/different from you

I have this hankering that people react roughly the same to low-priority issues. If we remember this, we can predict peoples reactions to things by thinking about how we would react. Now, high priority issues are a different matter. Not only do people think longer about physical attacks, references to religion, marriage proposals, etc, but when they think, they bring in their beliefs, which differ across people.

This is a very low-intensity idea (hence, a hankering). You'd be surprised how easily high-level values drip down into every little motion we humans make. This may the be explanation for sixth sense phenomenon. It's a good thing too, because through this, people can also see Jesus Christ (by the way, I often refer to him as JC, and to the Holy Spirit as HS) in us.
