The ref saw it from one spot on the field. Everyone you argue with is standing somewhere too.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Every opinion comes with a position attached, and the position usually explains most of the opinion. People are not arguing with you from nowhere. They are reporting a view from where they happen to stand, which includes what they can see and what kind of day they have had. Knowing that does not make them right, it makes them comprehensible.

In your next disagreement this week, work out where the other person is standing before you make your case. Ask what they are seeing that you are not. You can still disagree, and you will be arguing with their actual view instead of a cartoon of it.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH
