Next we talk about Captain America Civil War, Why be Assholes for a Moral Stand? Are they just acting like stubborn Children?
Check out the John Gottman Institute and the book, “And Baby Makes 3” for excellent suggestions on hearing the other side.
Practice listing to the other side and being able to repeat back what they are saying before you continue. Even if you are right, if you fail to stop and listen then you are cannot stay right by default.
Pick you battles. Be careful at work and learn how to manage conflict at work.
There is a difference between comic egging on and fun and that of serious fighting over fictional Media.
Are our favorite movies really good, or are we biased? Is it worth arguing over? Such as Empire Records and Crime Wave.
Be open to the other side of the argument. Not everyone has to share your opinion to get along or even date and be family. Losing Friendships or relationships with family are not worth it, especially over media and politics.
You can say something and talk about it all you want, if you don’t act on it it means nothing. There is so much theology versus the real Practice of things.
