Act well before differences dismantle closeness.
《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《
We are together, but not copies of each other. Differences of opinion occur. Approaches are different. Priorities are not matching. All have stuff to show for getting praise. These variations are signs of evolving societies or clusters, but within a limit.
Our job is to find threads of similarities in the sea of differences in interest, security, benefits, freedom, boundaries, and beliefs. We must keep systems in place, regardless of the magnitude of divergent views and current conflicts. If we are not succeeding today, worry less, as the task is complex. We have to walk an extra mile. Even if theories are convincing, it is hard to put them into practice. Be on the lookout for new shores.
People’s minds are not changed through arguments and proving them wrong. The occurrence of inequality, injustice, and hostility in any culture is omnipresent. On the other side, we are not, by any standard, omniscient. Any issue has many shades. Free thinkers find the actual shade and handle the issue aptly.
"The test of first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposite ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function," says F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Remember that everything is relative and not absolute. As we go in depth, new realities are born.
 Thus 
1. We have to acknowledge the differences.
2. We have to identify threads of similarities in the chaos and confusion.
"Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will," says Clement Stone.
We have to discuss possibilities more than problems. As the awareness level goes up, new patterns are constructed. When we study patterns, the complexity of social conditioning becomes easy to understand. In illiteracy, poverty, conflicts, discrimination, and the blame game, there is a pattern. What matters is what we do. In our folly assessment of things, a mole becomes a mountain. We are not fair, but we expect fairness in all spheres of human activity and in every endeavour.
When differences are allowed to widen, they destabilise peace at home, in small groups, in larger groups, or even globally. The situation becomes bad, worse, and then beyond control.
Most of the time, misunderstandings need to be corrected, whether they happen in family friendships, travelling, working places, or somewhere else. High ego, strange ideology, a short temper, and clashes of interest are common factors that disturb closeness. Simply by being careful, things have not been allowed to turn ugly.
Life travels smoothly on the roads of understanding in any class, culture, or community. Understanding is normally a middle path between two extremes: extra softness and too much rigidity in handling affairs.
To handle discord, we use consensus as a tool. Consensus means creating conditions in which all stakeholders live with dignity and decision.
As said above, members in any setting are not copies of each other. No issue. It is worth noting that even if 10% of one person matches with 10% of another person, sustainable closeness occurs. This 10% may be in mission, vision, ideas, values, background, or something common.
Where differences in thinking become complementary and not contradictory, it becomes easy to foster togetherness, as happens in the case of child care at home.
Players at any level of difference are humans, not the structure, connections, resources, or other things. So, whole problems are tagged to humans, or more particularly, their behaviour.
Where the focus is on possibilities rather than problems, we work on similarities and quickly reach solutions. Where stories of life are like running water, there are fewer problems. Where nothing is hidden, trust evolves.
Mostly, doubt creates differences. Doubts demolish wisdom. The antidote to doubt is openness among opponents. It is necessary to know the roots of the matter before remedial measures are taken. It is imperative to know the details before giving shape to our narratives.
People who are unaware of ground realities and the vastness of the universe are likely to be in trouble. Shallowness in knowledge is the main reason for differences in many areas of our lifestyles. Even people are ignorant about the right diet, hygiene, and utilities.
Sacrifice, tolerance, and acceptance are the tools to keep people together. But many of us are counting immediate losses in pursuing these traits, and so they are allowing disintegration to happen. The real effect is the long-term benefits of these social laws, which have been the foundation for human prosperity in all echoes.

 In short

We have to live a wonderful life. Differences are part of this wonder. Handling affairs makes us wise and forward-looking. Selfishness is at the core of all the problems we face. Move from this narrowness to the fullness of life, and be sure to get the essence of this beautiful journey.
