#davesdailychallenge (109): The Educated Mind. I recently heard this quote for the first time and I immediately loved it. Just think how often in our contemporary culture we tell ourselves that others are wrong and we are right with little to no rational analysis of the other’s viewpoint. There seems to be this pervasive belief that to listen to another and honestly consider their points is to somehow become lesser yourself. Let’s collectively take the fingers out of our ears and remember that we have the ability to listen and consider the opinions of others. This act makes us better and does not mean we need to agree or accept. You’d be amazed what you can learn if you just stop talking and actively listen. Good luck my friends.
