#72 - Seekers of Truth

Disagreement can be very uncomfortable for everyone. However, it is important because the alternative to discussing controversial issues is war, and none of us should want that!Unfortunately, it seems that we are slipping away from being able to have productive conversations with those we disagree with. People are becoming ideologically possessed, and it seems to be the norm to simply disregard those who have differing opinions than you. How, then, can we bring dialogue back? Fundamentally, we need to understand that we all likely agree much more than we disagree. We also need to change our perspective from one of  defending our position to seeking the truth. Only then, if we are lucky, can we bring back the art of dialogue.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
