Reaching maturity of the individual body, spirit and soul /not that of a people/ is a troubled and a lifetime long process. There are multiple factors that may speed up or slow down this process of maturing, i.e. the process of giving sense /”will for sense”/ to one’s life. Psychologists, psychotherapists, philosophers and religious thinkers have little doubt left or never had any that a dialogue with people of different life beliefs /religious and ideological/ secure a path to real individualization and/or divination of a man. A constant enrichment of not only spiritual and intellectual but also emotional /irrational/ being of a individual taking the thorny path of life /homo viator/ raises one’s tolerance to the Other and Otherness.
