The truth becomes powerful the moment you stop needing it to choose your side.

Truth stops being a weapon and starts being useful the moment you no longer need it to prove you were right. When you require it to vindicate you, you will unconsciously look only where vindication lives, and everything you find becomes ammunition rather than understanding. Released from that job, it can show you the whole situation.

Going into your next disagreement, try holding the possibility that both people did something real. Ask what actually happened rather than who wins. The conversation changes shape almost immediately when nobody is defending a verdict.
