Hi Troy, many people that you enter a conversation with think that they are right and don't want to listen to another side especially if the topic is loaded. It is a person of higher development who can move past that and be able to listen to a different side without wanting to try to squelch it out. I think people must feel threatened with different ideas? I found that I can influence people to be a little more open minded by listening to their ideas first and telling them where I do agree with them plus reminding them that we only have to listen and discuss not try to win each other over to the other side.
