How do you engage with those that disagree with you generally speaking?

Honestly at some age you just stop trying. Life is too short. Find your people and hang out with them, let the rest figure it out if they ever will. If you do engage, listen and be respectful then tell them what you think. If they’re hostile then bail #failfast

Dale Carnegie method

💯

If we both agree to disagree that's fine but if the other disagree to disagree, I leave the area of disagreement.

"Area of disagreement" is a novel concept to me, I tend to think of conflict as existing on an abstract plain.

To me as well. It hit me on the fly while I was typing 🤣

It shifted my thinking thanks.

The biblical method 😄

"A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself."

The Holy Bible: King James Version (Titus 3:10–11)

Useful in an ecumenical context for sure.

As a general rule I try to ask a lot of question. Honest questions, not trap questions. And the aim is to win the man, not the argument. Sometimes that is the person with whom you disagree. Sometimes it is the hearts and minds of the onlookers.

Find ONE commonality.

Allow it to grow from there. Some people believe respect must be earned. For me: I give everyone love & respect & it’s on them to force me to lose it. Which is rare. Agape love. 💜

Will. & Love of humanity dictates everything.
