A Vision of the Future
Understanding Others is a magazine for individuals who hold to the belief that truly "all men are created equal".
We believe in Tolerance as a social movement that is increasingly needed in our exceedingly fragmented world. We solicit submissions from writers, thinkers, dreamers and soothsayers from all over the globe who are able to reflect on and verbalize about a world without walls and hope to provide a space where people can come together in a spirit of support and understanding in order to create a more unifed planet. Our magazine invites visitors to peruse the literature posted, reflect and participate in our monthly theme by writing in to our message boards and sharing with other seekers about their dreams and goals for a better world. We also keep a posting of current events from around the world depciting individuals and cultures seeking unity by offering of themselves in a way that promotes peace and understanding. We encourage all who visit here to open their hearts, withhold their judgements and simply explore the possibility of a place for peace.
