“Some girls would consider this an insult. Not me, because if you had any idea how close we used to be, you would know how sincere she is. I guess you could say she鈥檚 still my friend, but a friend I keep at arm鈥檚 length.”
Michael Benzehabe, Zonked Out: The Teen Psychologist of San Marcos Who Killed Her Santa Claus and Found the Blue-Black Edge of the Love Universe

Michael  Austin
“Small acts of persuasion matter, because there is much less distance between people's beliefs than we often suppose. We easily confuse the distance between people's political positions with the intensity of their convictions about them. It is entirely possible for people to become sharply divided, even hostile, , over relatively minor disagreements. Americans have fought epic political battles over things like baking wedding cakes and kneeling during the national anthem. And we once fought a shooting war over a whiskey tax of ten cents per gallon. The ferocity of these battles has nothing to do with the actual distance between different positions, which, when compared to the entire range of opinions possible in the world, is almost negligible.

None of this means that we can persuade our opponents easily. Persuading people to change their minds is excruciatingly difficult. It doesn't always work, and it rarely works the way we think it will. But it does work, and the fact that it works makes it possible for us to have a democracy.”

“To fight is easy, but to create trust where there is none, that's the real challenge.”
Abhijit Naskar

Michael  Austin
“Classical philosophy holds that perpetual agreement with another person is incompatible with friendship. Because no two people can possibly agree on everything, someone who never expresses disagreement with you is acting insincerely - and true friendship requires sincerity above almost everything else.”
Michael Austin, We Must Not Be Enemies: Restoring America's Civic Tradition

Petros Scientia
“Each thinker will regard anything that clashes with his or her worldview to be insane and in conflict with reality. That鈥檚 because each thinker regards his or her worldview as reality itself and not as just an inner illusion. However, worldviews are just inner illusions. Making matters worse, people with similar worldviews tend to join with others who share major elements of their worldviews, and they tend to avoid those people who have worldviews that aren鈥檛 similar. This segregation results in confirmation bias among peers, making matters much worse.”

Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“Once asked how we could be friends, given our disagreement on lots of things, Justice Scalia answered: 'I attack ideas. I don't attack people.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, My Own Words

“John, always clueless to the moment at hand, points fiercely at his feet, commanding Dotty to come. But Dotty refuses to break rank with her fellow musicians.
Good for her.
Naturally, her disobedience does not go over with John. He bumps me occasionally, as he fumes, pacing erratically. I throw an elbow (that doesn鈥檛 connect) and give him a glare of irritation. Why isn鈥檛 anyone paying attention to me?”
Michael Benzehabe, Zonked Out: The Teen Psychologist of San Marcos Who Killed Her Santa Claus and Found the Blue-Black Edge of the Love Universe

“Learning how to peacefully disagree is an art everyone should try to master.”
Omar Cherif

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
“It takes a great degree of tolerance, and that of humility, to strongly disagree with someone, and not express your disagreement.”
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Petros Scientia
“When one person鈥檚 worldview differs from the worldview of another person, everything is fine until the two people realize that they aren鈥檛 seeing eye to eye. Each thinker will regard anything that clashes with his or her worldview to be insane and in conflict with reality.”
Petros Scientia, Exposing the REAL Creation-Evolution Debate: The Absolute Proof of the Biblical Account

Petros Scientia
“We filter what we observe and tend to explain away or ignore anything that doesn鈥檛 conform with what鈥檚 already in our worldviews. We interpret what we observe based on the assumptions and presuppositions that come out of our worldviews. If an observation or experience conflicts with our worldviews, we think it鈥檚 insane, unreal, or evil.”
Petros Scientia, Exposing the REAL Creation-Evolution Debate: The Absolute Proof of the Biblical Account

Petros Scientia
“Certain emotional influences such as peer pressure or extreme fear can cause us to alter our worldviews and change what we accept as normal. That鈥檚 what the political technique of the Overton window is all about. Create a crisis and move the window of how much freedom people are willing to do without. That鈥檚 how governments, schools, and personal relationships become oppressive.”
Petros Scientia, Exposing the REAL Creation-Evolution Debate: The Absolute Proof of the Biblical Account

Petros Scientia
“We have never observed or experienced anything objectively. We have always had some sort of outside influence or preconception. If nothing else, we had the impulses of our emotions that drove us and kept us from seeing reality as it really is. And we have always added unreality to our worldviews. That unreality came from our imaginations and became the fake inner reality each of us calls 鈥渙ur worldview.鈥 As insane as it may be, some even call it their 鈥渙wn reality.”
Petros Scientia

C.A.A. Savastano
“To call others evil is simpler and more emotionally satisfying than dealing with them as equal human beings that just disagree. That is why some do it so often.”
C.A.A. Savastano

“Who knows what goes on in a marriage? Even my parents, who had a compatible marriage, had their points of contention. They had figured out how to disagree and how to find common ground.”

“The Loco Sonnet

Better to be loco for something,
Than to be sane for nothing.
Better to fight and die for a purpose,
Than to sit around and do chanting.
Better to love and be exploited,
Than to be self-obsessed and crooked.
Better to disagree and annoy each other,
Than to hide the differences fostering hatred.
Better to be a know-nothing idiot,
Than to be a know-it-all loudspeaker.
Better a character without fancy clothes,
Than fancy clothes without character.
There鈥檚 no future without a united humanity.
The whole world is a reflection of me.”
Abhijit Naskar, Sleepless for Society

A.D. Aliwat
“Everybody kills everybody, given the chance.”
A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“For whatever reason, you wil tend to think people who disagree with you are disagreeing because they are not as good as you.”
Caliban Darklock, The BULL SHIT LIFE: Why Everything Sucks

“Can we create critical mass of people who not only agree with one other but can also disagree with one another? I feel like we've forgotten that in this age. And it's led to this dismissal, cynicism, which then is extended through the lack of redemption. I think one of the challenges of the secular, post-modern age is that it creates the day of judgment now. Religions believe that the day of judgment is yet to come, so there is the idea of redemption, and forgiveness, and change, and improvement.”
Suhaib Webb

“Religion and ideology are two faces of the same Janus. Both lead to suppression of disagreement and hence become fossilized. Such fossilization leads to extreme reverence for the text and the increased authority of the written word, written in an age gone by so long ago that in the present it is clearly anachronistic.”
R. N. Prasher

“Why be the other half of disagreement?”
Joyce Sequichie Hifler, A Cherokee Feast of Days: Daily Meditations

Abhijit Naskar
“Difference & Discrimination (The Sonnet)

There ain't no difference that can't be conquered,
Except for those that are rooted in inhumanity.
A bigot's emphasis on their supremacy over others,
Is not a difference in opinion but clinical insanity.
Nobody is inferior to nobody in this world of ours,
Except for those who think of others as such.
Neither ancestry nor luxury defines a character,
Conduct alone defines character, above all fuss.
Say, discrimination is not a difference in opinion,
It's an act that sets animals apart from humans.
Free speech is a phenomenon of human society,
Hate speech is an act of stoneage barbarians.
Let us distinguish differences from discrimination,
Then celebrate differences while treating discrimination.”
Abhijit Naskar, Honor He Wrote: 100 Sonnets For Humans Not Vegetables

“Consensus of Heart (The Sonnet)

Place truth at the feet of love,
Intellect at the feet of integration.
Place belief at the feet of harmony,
Stubbornness at the feet of ascension.
Place tradition at the feet of expansion,
Individuality at the feet of collectivity.
Place knowledge at the feet of warmth,
Patriotism at the feet of world community.
Place differences at the feet of unity,
Rebellion at the feet of accountability.
Place serenity at the feet of social uplift,
Practicality at the feet of dignity 'n equality.
Whether there is consensus of head or not,
Let us first ensure consensus of the heart.”
Abhijit Naskar, Dervish Advaitam: Gospel of Sacred Feminines and Holy Fathers

“When the war is intensified, the best safety is to withdraw.”
Lailah Gifty Akita

Peter Kreeft
“Reader: Why would an unbeliever read you?/
Author: For the same reason a believer should read an unbeliever. If you know only what you know, you don't even know that. You understand things only by contrast. Why should a Republican listen to a Democrat? Why should people who disagree dialog with each other?”
Peter Kreeft, Making Sense Out of Suffering
