I know, it sounds corny and hollow. No argument there. That said, do it.
When you are in a discussion or an argument, are you listening or getting ready to speak? Are you being wise, are you seeking the truth or are you playing defense with your current thought?
ALWAYS seek the truth. Whether it be in a discussion or an argument. Whether it be about common current beliefs. Be curious. Ask or seek what the current evidence is that supports the current belief.
The world was the center of the universe for centuries, until it wasn’t.
The world was flat for another bunch of centuries, until it wasn’t.
It took one person to seek the truth, to be wise, to be willing to change their mind. And then the effort to convince others to change their minds.
Sidebar: When you are discussing something with someone, keep an open mind. Ask them why they think their current viewpoint is correct. What evidence do they have to support it? You never know, they may be right, and you will be a better person for seeking the truth.
Wishes for a great day to all,
Hugs too,
