I wonder if the writer of the above article has any understanding on why mortals have difficulties in understanding each other on this side of heaven. Even between husband and wife, they experience almost daily misunderstanding. Suppose a loving husband tells his wife, "Wow, you look beautiful!". Then, his wife might respond with "Why, was I not beautiful yesterday?" That's the way life usually goes. Why? As some of us tried the test of right brain and left brain, we mortals see things differently from each other. For our perceptive organs have limited capacities, clouded by our own limited perspectives on life and by the past experiences that we all grew up with. In other words, we are NOT perfect in perception.

Writers like the above assume that we could achieve perfect understanding by our own efforts which make thing BEAUTIFUL, could we? Drama after drama people put out for entertainment depicts so well what tragedies or comedies we mortals create day to day with our limited understanding or misunderstanding. Human history supports also how imperfect mankind has been, struggling against each other not fully understanding each other.

I believe the ultimate answer to all the tragedies and comedies lies in the Bible which explains why we mortals go through this life, not fully understanding each other. The Bible tells that it is God's will that we struggle on this side of planet, not understanding each other for He confounded our languages during the era of Bibel tower (Genesis 11:9).

God reversed partially what He did at the Babel tower, during the Pentecoast by pouring out His Spirit upon His Elects (Acts 2:4). And as I understand, the world will end with people the way they are not fully understanding each other unless the Spirit of God dwells in them giving them understanding.

Knowing the above fact, mortals are to live humbly on this side of heaven acknowledging the fact that we are limited created beings handicapped by our own gene make ups and also by our own perspectives which govern our perceptions, longing after the Paradise we all lost in Adam.

"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and
the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God
out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and
they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and
be] their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
