You beat me to it, LP. But I’m glad that you did. One can learn from other cultures, but the bulk of our tike is spent with out own family…our own khandaan…our own people. To kya hum ne apni hi family se…apnay hi logon se…koi achi baat nahi seekhi? Kya hum ne aone hi logon main koi achaayi nazar nahi aayi…k hum aik poori trait ko…whether it’s empathy/generosity/mercy…kisi aur culture k hawalay kar den. Ridiculous. That’s the opposite of an open-minded soch. Ofsos hai aisi soch par.

And good for you for bringing up religion. When I give gifts even to those who have wronged me or I don’t like…in the back of my mind I do remember the hadith that the giving of gifts fosters affection. Our religion/sunnah is chock full of examples of consideration for others that we really don’t need to crane our necks soooooo far to search for examples of goodness from other cultures and then to award a while entire human TRAIT exclusively to one group, lol.
