Blinded and Divided

Being proven right may be necessary for ultra-critical issues, like life and death. But it has its costs and may not always be the wisest strategy, especially if reconciliation is key.

Seeing beyond our own frame of reference must be one of the most difficult and uncomfortable challenges. Can others with different views be right and we be wrong? What if we aren’t all right? How do we accept other people who push our red buttons? How can we justify our own wrongs (if we can even acknowledge them) and blame others for theirs? Do we only love people who like us or agree with us? Are we reinforcing attitudes that divide and hurt?
