"The political Left and Right are both moving to the extreme
because each thinks the threat is so great from the other side that extreme
measures need to be taken. And of course, it's all self-reinforcing."
-James Redfield
In matters political, we all need to take a deep breath and
do a lot more listening.
Listening is not a widespread skill in our times, but
it is precisely what is needed.
If we really listen to those who disagree with
us politically, we will discover something amazing--we agree a lot more than we
disagree.
Freedom depends on citizens who listen, really listen!
