Since we are talking about information, I believe that understanding is not based on the quantity of information.
Information is necessary for understanding but understanding is more than that.
For there to be genuine dialogue there is a need for the interlocutors to be able to understand each other and understand each other's reasons. Therefore, since we have that great difficulty of dialogue which is precisely a lack of understanding, we need to try to see what separates us. What separates individuals is egocentrism, ethnocentrism, societies and socio-centrism, that is, those trends which mean putting oneself at the centre of the world and considering the other as secondary, inferior or humble. When we understand those reasons then we can try to dominate or to control that. This morning, in a very correct manner, several of the speakers, in particular the speaker from Mali, very rightly showed that for Western countries and for civilizations that stem from Western Europe, which believe themselves to be the owners of rationalism, truth, reason and culture, there is a very real, deep-rooted problem, because they thought they were at the centre of the universe, the problem of the renunciation of this monopolistic attitude.
