We shouldn't back away from

discussing polarizing issues,

even if it's with people who disagree with us.

By having these conversations,

you will gain insight into people

who think differently than you do.

Sure, it's uncomfortable,

and yeah, I'd probably agree that we don't

change our minds most of the time.

But we can better understand

opposing perspectives,

which can help us to better advocate

for our own beliefs.

Just talk about something that’s uncomfortable,

unconventional and meaningful to you.

And most importantly,

do it with the intent to listen and learn,

not to win and not to agree.
