I'm going to say something that might not be very popular. I want you to take some time over the next couple of weeks to talk to someone that thinks very differently from you. Maybe they're different politically. Maybe it's spiritually. Maybe it's a different parenting style. Whatever the case may be, talk to someone who thinks very differently. Listen, truly listen. Don't listen to argue. Listen to truly hear what their passion is on the topic
Why?
Because you don't know what truly know how to debate an issue without knowing what is on the other side. Because you may change your perspective, whether that means you strengthen your argument for the same side or you change it for the other side. Because you may find that just knowing what your differences are will make you realize that you're not that different at all. Because the more you hear about different stories and different perspectives, the more you may realize that life is about learning and loving.
Look, it might not change a thing about the way you view things. Just give it a try.
