A dispute with others can be more than a moment of conflict, it can also be an opportunity for enlightenment.
Kenny S. R. Costa
Background
This is something I’ve had to tell myself over and over again. I will often get into a conflict with others over some philosophical, religious, political, or other point. And often I will attempt to argue the validity of my own personal view, much to my regret latter on. After all, I know what I believe, and most will not be turned in one conversation by an opposing belief. However, here is a golden opportunity to learn about the views of others, about someone who thinks differently than me. And sometimes I remember this quote and I ask them questions and ask for explanation, not to defeat them, but an attempt to understand.
In the grand scheme, we have to make sure we are open to the truth, where ever we find it, and the quote above is my way of trying to remind myself to remain to the Truth.
