I appreciate what you have shared here about how agreeing to disagree isn’t enough. Sadly there are people at certain stages of being in adamant disagreement with us for our choices &/or beliefs won’t be open to even wanting to understand where we are coming from but hopefully with time as you shared from your real life example when you returned back after a time to the place where you had been rejected etc for your choices &/or beliefs people will see the fruitlessness & barrenness of their outright rejection before they thought to bring in a desire to understand.
Thank you for your comment ❤️Yes, I agree - there will always be people who don’t want to understand or make the effort. But, I’ve found that there are a greater number of people who do…they just always know how to. Unfortunately, it often requires those of us who are different/or those who feel we are different than those around us to share our experiences with truth and vulnerability. I hope that there can be more programs or opportunities put in place where discussions FOR understanding can take place because I really do feel like there are a lot of people who want that opportunity.
PS The image you have shared with this piece of writing speaks so loudly.
