Different Cultures

My wife went to a Hindu wedding. She says it is nothing like a Baptist wedding. The guest sit and chat while what ever is going on, goes on. Then there is applause when the ring is placed on the bride’s finger.

Isn’t it strange how cultures are different, but people are the same? They get married seeking the same happy future, no matter what their beliefs are. Yes, even red necks. That’s a culture I know a little about.

If people have the same hopes, dreams, and desires, why do they not get along. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier, and make more sense, just to sit back let each other live their lives? But they don’t. Races hate each other, religions hate each other, and well, red necks just don’t understand why everybody doesn’t do things the way they do.

Cultures appear to be the problem - not the people. I have know many people of different cultures and when dealing with them one on one, they just seem like people. However, issues arise when cultures collied.

The solution to mankind’s hostilities is to develop one culture - red neck culture. Red necks eat anything and I do mean anything. They sing, dance, and cry, and this may be emotion over a rack of pork ribs. They don’t try to figure out what’s in somebody’s head. That’s because their head hurts from the twelve pack they had with the ribs. And, red necks understand that duct tape and WD-40 can fix anything. It’s a simple culture. It takes no effort to adapt this culture.

Try it. You’ll like it. World problems solved.
