I often wonder that myself. Each person has their own set of values and it is VERY hard if not impossible to like someone who was far from your mindset. I could never be friends with a thief. I could never be friends with someone who would molest a child or ....just a lot of things.
But on minor issues that I may not agree with and to me aren't deal breakers even if they are very different than me, I find people who differ interesting and sometimes I change my own mind about things because of how they are.
I think accepting of differences is along the same lines as non judgemental...but maybe...I don't know Villages Pl. Good question!
