Those who are not willing to listen

are not willing to learn.

Walk away.

There are plenty of people in this world who you can work with and love.

Problem solved.

***

Now think about the factions that violently divide this country.

How has walking away from those who don’t want to listen contributed to that division?

***

You can do all you can to make them listen, all while doing the lion’s share of listening yourself.

You can be patient and persistent - even when you think

they are racist,

or bigoted,

or mysogenist.

(As long as you haven’t decided that they are just plain mean.)

Be the Lorax.
