Yes. Absolutely. That is called respect.

I think differences can be a positive as long as you respect each others beliefs.

Yes as long as there’s mutual respect ☺

I have. But it really depends on what

peterlee · M

As long as our values are not too far away from each other.

AdmiralPrune · M

Yes absolutely.

In fact oriole with different opinions to me can be more interesting.

I would refuse to be.

Can I be close to someone with very different opinions? Yes, I think so. Can I be close to someone with very different morals? No, I think that’s where I draw the line.

I would like to say yes but it is a hard no.

I can get on with people who have wildly different opinions up to the point of being casual friends. When you are talking about politics, though, it's about values, belief systems, and identity. I couldn't have a partner or a close friend who was not at least somewhat aligned.

I don't think it's usually worth it.

Being honest. Simple. Then you let the other person decide if they want you. Then you get to do better, because of gentle encouragement and the flow of rush to your soul which is called being in love.

I used to think this was possible, but it's not. Not if it's crucial elements in life. You can't disagree. You'll be fighting each other's existence or at best be just cancelling each other out.

You use to be able to have differing views and opinions for things like religion or politics and you could be friends but not anymore and thats sad!
