As belief systems clang swords today, you brush against something tender. Defending your worldview is never comfortable, but you can always tap out if the conversation gets too prickly. A dogma or myth may actually be harming more than it’s helping now, but you have the freedom to swap it out for something more compassionate. And remember: The folks truly in your corner will never let a difference of opinion derail a friendship. The beauty of the human mind is how many contractions it can hold.
