Whether or not we’re conscious of it, we all collect information, develop a perspective and form opinions based on our beliefs. It’s easy to forget that our journey to our position is just one of many. Others have arrived at their conclusions via alternative paths. They’ve seized upon different details and emphasized other factors. It isn’t surprising that there are so many divergent opinions or that each person believes their viewpoint is more valid. We can better connect with others, even those with greatly divergent viewpoints, when we respect that their right to their opinion is…
As legitimate as ours.
