The difficulties in negotiating

To negotiate with others and earn the money needed, we need to understand that their rights are as respectable as ours.

In other articles I commented that private property (1) is a concept that seems simple to understand but that basically provides an essential difficulty: we understand well our right but hard to understand the rights of others.

Similarly, in another article (2), I said that human beings have the right to aspire to bond closely with everyone but nevertheless we us angry that some of those people who love us have similar feelings for other people.

These two features are the key drivers for us very difficult to negotiate.

I've come to think that all the knowledge that we are forced to learn in our first years of life, are not intended to beautify a cultural veneer that allows us to maintain a social conversation talking about many topics, but for another reason deeper.

If we can learn from geography to understand how people live who live in a desert, or in a very cold place, or with a high population density;

If we learn from literature we can understand how they think other characters that could be as real as ourselves, but react differently, they have different interests, beliefs eventually opposite to ours;

If we can learn math to understand what possibilities of thought has your brain and, therefore, the brains of our peers.

In other words, one of the purposes for which it is imposed on us learning many ideas and knowledge, can settle the conviction that the interests of others are as important, valuable and respectable, but not want to respect their rights.
