The Master had a very trusting heart and concept because of his cultural background and understanding. Even until today, in different Nations of the World, this problem of Cross-Cultural Misunderstanding can cause much hurt and breakdown of friendships and relationships. This is why it is good to learn and understand the culture of other peoples if we are working for them or if we are marrying into their family.
