i try. it helps me to keep in mind what life experiences the person has had that have led him or her to their conclusions. but admittedly, some days i do better than others.  | |

i try but sometimes i find that i just can't.
when i find that i can't, i just think, "well, it must make sense for them" and keep it moving. I'm sure there are people who don't understand me as well.  | |

Do you work to understand viewpoints other than your own ? Not a whole lot.  | |

If someone's point of view is so opposite, it can be hard to understand why they would think and reason that way... that's usually when I'll agree to disagree

True Though for me that is when I try to understand the most I usually learn more about them and myself in the process | |

that's just me  | |

In my line of work, I look at points-of-view; then I lock up the one with the dumbest point-of-view. Abashed the Devil stood and felt how awful goodness is. | |

Of course i do yes. In order to tolerate and work with people we have to understand them and their views. Doesn't mean i agree with them of sometimes even understand WHY they feel that way or how they got there but yes i feel i have to understand the viewpoint in order to get along.
If i want them to do that for me then i owe them the same. | |
