Collections

Post a video about gay marriage, have a few conversations with people on facebook moments later about it.

Best: I got to talk to people who both agreed and disagreed.

It reminded me that you need to always collect. Always ask. Always listen.

Or to steal quotes from conversations last night:

In other words – by listening to what others believe, I am able to strengthen and elaborate on my own beliefs (without being threatened by what they believe).

I think I read a quote somewhere that said something along the lines of “The mark of an educated mind is the ability to consider another person’s opinion without necessarily accepting it.”
