It is important to spend time with people who are not like you – people of different backgrounds, races, political parties, etc. Spend time with them, talk to them, ask them what they believe and why they believe it. Your goal is not to agree or disagree; your goal is to broaden your horizons and learn about other people. We are more alike than we are different, and you may never discover that if you never venture out of your comfort zone to talk to people who are not like you.
