While values may exist that arguably could be applied to various groups or communities of people (as is the case in some religions, governments, cults or gangs), none appear to be truly universal. Values are essentially determined by the individual based upon whatever perceptive criteria the person has decided, freely or otherwise, to embrace.
Aren't all differences between religions, governments or partners in relationships ultimately an expression of incongruous values? This fact emphasizes how essential the need is to blend or bridge values as a means of bringing peoples together and restoring hope.
How to go about that task poses a conundrum. Something does not become a value unless the willingness to compromise it is removed from the table. How, no, can this problem be solved?
