Confronting someone whose ideas are completely different is not only a skill but the ability to have affinity for that person. It's a matter of space. When you can admire someone no matter what their beliefs, the space between you and them is narrower. An appropriate and well-written piece, Tim!
It's not easy to take a step and engage someone who has different beliefs from us, whether it's religion, politics, or lifestyle. But we do grow if we stay open. You can disagree without being disagreable
Thanks, Darlene. And while were discussing connections, you’ve ceratinly helped me connect with writing as a craft and a fulfillment of what’s within. Thanks so much, my friend.
Tim, you inspire me to continue on the path of acceptance & tolerance, thank you my friend!

"fulfillment of what's within" -- a mantra. I'm on that path with you.
