You are obviously correct... but I would like to add that many disagreement are due to different "Personal Rules."

We all have our Personal Rules on most subject...

Take sport as an example... one person's rule may be that "You must win at all cost." Another person's rule could be that, "Sport is just for fun and there is no need to kill yourself in trying to win."

Now, if these two persons are on the same team... there is bound to be some disagreement...

The problem with "Personal Rules" is that we all feel that they are universal and the same for everyone... sadly... they obviously are not...
