The most important trip
you may take in life is
meeting people halfway.
Henry Boyle
All great philosophers advise:
don't debate with someone
who has only strong opinions
but no real understanding of the topic.
A person who does not understand
an issue's true complexity
is not going to be educated
in five minutes.
Listen respectfully.
Asking one good question
may get them to start
thinking differently, but
arguing with them
will only agitate you both.
Treating others with respect
does not mean you agree!
I advise changing the topic
in a fun way, or
taking your leave.
Humor can get in under the door
while seriousness is still
fumbling at the handle.
G.K. Chesterton

At least half way, and sometime an extra step or two will pay dividends.
