I appreciate this post and read it with open ears, and observed in myself my own biases - deaf ears are blind to their biases apparently. People dig in their heels instead of actually asking themselves questions or trying to even understand what others are feeling and thinking. We don’t ask enough questions or have enough conversations. My hope is that the majority of people are like you - reasonable and not self-righteous - and that it’s simply the minority who gets the bullhorn. So thank you for using your own bullhorn responsibly.
