It may be emotionally satisfying to confront these folks, but it will ultimately lead to the closing off of dialogue. If you want allies, you must listen to them before you speak your own mind. Only by understanding their views -- which includes their biases, fears, and personal needs -- can you begin to change the way they think. To secure peace, be peaceable. To gain respect, be respectful. |
