We're quick to avoid tough conversations...
I start with a question. Roughly: How should we decide whether to pursue difficult conversations with present people, or to pursue our values with a (hypothetical) persons who are better dispositioned? In a time when common understanding is sufficiently lacking, how do we determine what effort is worth trying to influence others for the sake of our values? Should some relationships languish while we pursue the life we deserve to give ourselves, individually?
You might say that I end off nowhere close to answers, but I think I laid down a bit of guidance, or process.
Life is in the process, and perhaps the way the one that makes that process bearable.
