It's Debatable
It's easy to forget, what you hold closely as your ideas/opinions/beliefs are actually debatable.
That's why there are other ideas/opinions/beliefs out there. And this is a good thing.
Diverse ideas help weed out the good from the bad. It's always a good thing to engage in true open dialogue. This is how we form our ideas and allow them to be challenged. If we're not willing to challenge our ideas, there's a grave danger in holding wrong ideas.
Allowing them to be challenged helps us either discard for a better ideas, or solidify what we think.
Both are positive results.
The only requirement is honesty and openness on our ends of things. And this is a whole lot harder to accomplish than we would like to admit.
So remember, what you feel is right, it actually debatable.
(yes, there are some absolutes that aren't debatable, but those are the exceptions to this rule :)
