I am able to maintain friendship with people having a wide spread of beliefs. Even when I disagree in a big way, it lets me understand them. see their humanity and not see them as monsters. They are just misguided, or maybe it's me that is. But if you see others as demons, you cannot know them, you only know your own thoughts about them. It's an imperfect world and I can't change that. At best, I can hope to be a positive influence withing my small circle of influence.
