Are you confident in yourself enough to allow others to have their own opinion?

... that's a hard one for me.

Absolutely. There is so often more than one way to be right. Thye trick is to avoid being wrong.. And in the case of stupid things, like believing gravity is optional, sometimes the best you xab do is detach yourself from these people. But you still have to allopw them to qualify for a Darwin award. Thats how nature evolves..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I have read many of your comments (on this site) and you are never argumentative. You are fact based and unemotional 👍

I must admit, I enjoy a healthy debate. Even if I am wrong (and I often am) at least I learn from it. So many people I know in R/L are either not interested in a conversation with opposing views or they are steadfast in their beliefs - even when they have been proven wrong. I hope I never get to that point. You have to stay flexible - which I am finding difficult as I age.

@dontbekoi I hear you ans of course I hold my own opinions on things. But only by being open to hear others can we learn and grow. It is an effort at times.. But its worth it..😷
