Understanding another's point of view
SHOULD be our mantra always,
BUT as it used to be...
...based on the truth
When your "point of view" is based on proven lies, of what value is it.
We used to, in the past, begin with facts and then form an opinion based on that and not the rankings of others. Yes, there are times when "facts" are not clear but most times, a lie is easily recognized. We don't seem to care that we enable lying, and are happy to defend lies.
We, in today's world, are "wired" to believe whatever source is comfortable, not necessarily truthful.
In my public life, the debate was on how to resolve an issue, not denigrating those who bring up an issue.
