It seems sometimes that we shy away from being in conversation or an environment with people that we disagree with.
I’ve previously written that I think it’s worth unfollowing people on social media that you disagree with. The reason for this is that on social media it’s rare that people with differing opinions have a back and forth that benefits either of them.
However, I don’t think we should seek to create a life that is simply an echo chamber of our own thoughts and beliefs.
It’s a great thing to be able to engage with people that have different opinions to you. I think the problem arises when we forget that we have the option to accept someone else’s opinion and understand that they see things differently without having to prove your point or change someone’s mind.
