Respect Each Others’ Delusions

Most debates are not really debates; They are two people with different life experiences talking over each other.

When you realize that you – the good, noble, well-meaning, even-tempered, fact-driven person that you are – have views of how the world works that are sure to be incomplete if not completely wrong, you should have empathy for others whose deluded beliefs are obvious to you.

The key here is accepting that everyone is deluded in their own unique way. You, me, all of us.

“Until we know we are wrong, being wrong feels exactly like being right.”
