Open Mind = Open Heart?

We can look around every day and see people who are different from us. Some differences are expected, some are subtle and some are obvious. When you encounter someone who is different than you, i.e. they dress differently, speak differently believe in things that are different than what you believe, how do you treat them? Do you embrace the differences or do you tend to separate yourself because of them? Think about the friends you hang with now; are they very different from you or more the same? What, if any, are some differences that you simply cannot tolerate in a friend, acquaintance etc? Be honest.
