Why can't we get along with others?

“It is the conflict between three principles in man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean, and that I do not do what I say.”

Martin Buber, The Way of Man.

All our disputes with others stem from a fundamental conflict within ourselves. The contradiction or disintegration of our thinking, saying and doing causes others to question our lies. Many a time, we blame others for our troubles when what we need to do is to straighten ourselves out.
