Why does it matter what we believe? Truthfully, it doesn’t matter what we believe, as long as we understand why we believe it. Since we are unique individuals, there’s not one person who will believe the exact same things as someone else.
Differences are normal and what define us. Yet if we speak against someone’s differing mindset without understanding why we think the way we do, there will never be a productive or civilized conversation.
This is where the dissonance lies. If we don’t understand ourselves and our own beliefs, then how can we ever hope to communicate those thoughts to others?
