Opinions

"When we hold on to our opinions with aggression, no matter how valid our cause, we are simply adding more aggression to the planet, and violence and pain increase. Cultivating nonaggression is cultivating peace."
~ Pema Chodron

Letting go of our need to be 'right' allows us to be in the space of the other person; it provides us with the opportunity to understand someone else's perspective rather than judge it - or them.
