perhaps they aren’t talking out the side of their necks.
perhaps, what they are saying is true (to them at least) + it’s a matter of perspective.
when we don’t agree with someone, it’s easy to write them off.
“they must live in lala land because what?!”
“they have no idea what they are talking about”
“they are wrong as hell, don’t listen to them”
disagreeing doesn’t mean someone is right or wrong; it’s perspective.
instead of shunning + dismissing others for their opinions, seek to understand them.
sometimes it’s best to not engage as to not go down a rabbit hole (especially when you aren’t open to hearing someone else’s perspective) + that’s okay, too.
the point is this: you aren’t always right + they aren’t always wrong.
different opinions, different perspectives, different values exist in this world + one way doesn’t trump another.
our realities are based on our experiences, our beliefs, + our programming.
everyone wasn’t raised to see situations + circumstances the exact same way.
keep that in mind today as you engage with others + don’t be afraid to challenge your own beliefs based on what you’ve learned while listening.
be you, be dope!
