Thank you John! That means a lot to me, as you are one of those folks whose take on life and philosophy I greatly respect and enjoy.

That's such a great point! Nobody has to give their idea(l)s, or think that they are incorrect, but by being open to the idea that they may be wrong, even just about some piece of the puzzle, the conversation opens up greatly, as seeking truth becomes the goal, rather than proving that "I'm right and you're wrong"

Some of my most profound breakthroughs have come from the times I've been bouncing back and forth between people who hold many opposed beliefs... and most of the rest have been during conversation with people I disagreed about many things with :-)
