Will there ever come a time when...


... humans in general, unless they are sociopaths, psychopaths or just ignorant idiots, of whom hopefully there weren't be so many, just agree in general on what is right and wrong, and stuff like prejudice, bigotry, bullying etc will mostly come to an end? Will that ever happen?

Also, even IF say people may personally not be into certain practices, can they either learn or simply naturally BE tolerant towards others that are different from them, and also indulge in practices that may not be their cup of tea, but they don't bother them or find them "icky" or "perverse", and ESPECIALLY they don't attack or let alone in more extreme examples attempt to "kill" them like that?

And on related lesser sides, say, not mind FILMS that have such content even IF, perhaps, they certainly may not choose to watch and collect "porn videos" of such material but don't have anything too much against it either - what's more (bizarre? hypocritical?) - they may not mind OTHER examples like l**bi@n say erotic themes or scenes or bisexual ones there but let's NOT think the other example is something oh so forbidden etc, treat it please like someone liking tea or coffee.

(I'm aware indeed we probably should shout out "Hey, don't do it" and "this is bad", get involved in explicit direct discussions of such matters etc, talk even about stuff like "Ah, but someone may find straight sex scenes distasteful etc", and hey, I am in a way saying the SAME things, just in different ways, and wondering about it all from simple human nature, as unfortunate and gritty as its reality even in today's world IS sadly though.)

And kids at school can learn, and so could adult politicians in various countries. And if Bible or religion has prejudiced or flawed views, maybe at best ignore them?

I have come across people who online and in real life were even MORE directly affected by such troubles, my heart does indeed go out to them, but in your opinion...

Will ever there come a time in humanity when we reach an overall balance, start feeling and thinking correctly and for the MOST part, those unfortunate things can come to an end? Thank you.

No.

Highly doubtful. Society continues to become more fragmented and polarized. You can thank social media for enabling this.

In the end people are tribal. People will stick to their own and do what is best for the group that they feel best represents themselves. Look at what happened with the Black rights & Female rights movements, now you have black people who don't want to be around white people etc You have women who don't want to be around men etc.

Society is fragmented and keeps getting more fragmented. You even have the letter people arguing amongst themselves because LGBTIQA is rather broad and the "B" contradicts some of the other letters among other problems that have.

There is a basic consensus about proper treatment already existing in the west, most of the jostling is on edge issues.

The main problem, which does get into politics, is the morality of systematic economic suppression in a system dominated by inherited wealth, and the tie-up of every piece of desirable land by capital.

I'm not saying its all bad, but it does engender many attendant ills, which is another kind of morality, writ large.
