Reflection

The best part of this chapter is to humly express and refine my beliefts. All of the 7billon people living in the world with different thoughts. Therefore, the that only my beliefs are right will put me in a pit. It was timte to recall that we need to listen to the thoughts of various people.

I recently had a chance to talk about the difference between my girlfriend thoughts and my thoughs. One was religious view, and the other was about physical relationshops. We vaguely thought that we had different religious values and different basic values. Through the talk, we could talk more specifically about what is different. It is really good to have a chance t o meet each other in spite of these problems. What I learned the most thorught this class was that I had a lot of misunderstandings about the Chrisitians I had in the past. Though the members of the group do not represent all Christians, at least they are walking int the desired path and seem to be living with the desired worries.

I do not remember when I had the opportunity to share my values with my friends. The time for studying the major is also very important, but I hopt I will have a better understanding of various values and the ability to discuss it freely. And I want to take a stpe further and embrace different values. How can I create such a posture? I will try to an open attitude.
