Or not much. Be good to one another, even when you disagree. There's a lot to disagree about right now and many of us have plenty of free time to spend disagreeing.
That's fine. What's not fine is being a jerk about it. Treat others as you would like to be treated -- and don't try to jailhouse-lawyer your way around the principle, either.
I enjoy a good conversation and spirited debate with those I disagree with that are able to participate without degrading into screaming and insults. My brother-in-law (whom I haven't seen in years) is one of those who cannot be civil. He has no basis for his beliefs and when the conflict in his brain cannot be reconciled, he goes absolutely mental. Those folks that can carry on like a normal human being seem to be few and far between. After our discussions we remain friends and just agree to disagree.
ReplyDeleteGood advice even in the best of times.
