There are around 4000 different religions in the world today, and there have been many, many more throughout history. There are also many different political ideologies. People with all these various religions and ideologies are at odds with each other, which results in wars and hostility.
There are also many different private belief systems. And all people are convinced that they have it right.
Some people are convinced that they are superior to you, and some are convinced that they are inferior. Some worship the golden calf, and some worship baloney.
Pluralism is the idea that everyone must be accepted in society regardless of their beliefs. However, we can only become close friends if our beliefs are similar. Then, we belong to the same tribe.
Romeo and Juliet came from two feuding families. Their love story did not end well. Love is not a force strong enough to win over bigotry.

Romantic love is not unconditional love. It can't be defined, because it is the experience of who I am at the core... which are words that point at something that can't be described. And experiencing it is not something that can be shared. I can't talk about it. And that's okay. And death is really birth into true reality. No one needs to know that or be convinced. No friendships are needed. I died before I will die. No one needs to believe me. The things people see and the words they use to describe the near-death experience are based on what's on their current map. The words and definitions have been "believed-in" rather than the experience. And it all unfolds into the awareness of the experiencer as they continue on in the body.
