Being Right vs Being Present
Everything you’re saying about that right-wing wingnut, that left-wing idiot, that god-spewing bible thumper or that godless materialist could be wrong.
Or it could be right. That's opinions for you. Even if they're factually correct, they're rarely open enough to be complete.
I find myself most free and helpful to others when I can drop my opinions and constant mental chatter, and just be present for what the other person is saying.
Ironically, this is an opinion too.
