The Truth, The Whole Truth and...
We've
all been in situations where we're having a conversation with someone and
they're convinced you're wrong about something, even though you know you're
right. Whether it's trivial facts, or serious issues, how you react might say
more about you than the topic at hand. When trying to defend our positions and
views we need to respect the other opposing opinion if we are to expect the
other person to respect our views and possibly change their mind. This is no easy
task; it requires practice and some discipline. I think this Tweet pretty much
sums it up: "Being aggressive with
truth to the point of alienating yourself from others is not holiness--it is
[neurotic] and toxic." So here’s my prayer concerning this...Father
teach me to understand more than to be understood, Amen.
