It's not necessarily a matter of not realizing that other people think differently.

It's often a matter of believing that other people think incorrectly, so incorrectly that one is willing to forcibly make those other people abide by some other kind of thinking.

Some times this is obviously a bad attitude, like when sodomy is punished by death. Other times this is obviously a good attitude, like when trying to end genocide in Darfur.

People may disagree over rights and what they entail. That doesn't mean that a single right answer is impossible. And it certainly doesn't mean that there are no wrong answers.
