Remember the debate team where teams argued sides and HAD to win... Some of us are still acting like conversations where we disagree are about winning. You don't need to be right and you don't need to win. In fact, by focusing on changing another's point of view - especially when they can't or don't want to change, or hear you, will only create loss. Conflict is still communication and healthy communication is still two ways. If I can remain open-minded to other people's lifestyles and opinions - and my own - true freedom and greater awareness grows inside and all around me.
