I appreciate people more often when I don't interact too much with them. I think this is because I find the stuff that they say they believe to be wrong or disgusting, but in general for all their blather they actually act better as human beings than their publicized beliefs. Deep down, most of us value the same things: family, friends, etc. but the crap we think we have to believe gets in the way of better social interactions. I feel I can focus on the positive better if I don't listen to the superficial dogma that gets pushed out mostly by habit.
