Perseverance

Do you remember having that friend that was the polar opposite to you in thought? You thoroughly enjoyed the exchange of thoughts, ideas and concepts, all without the guise of hate or ill will? You were still there for each other, would help each other out.

The friendship was more important the opposition. You had mutual respect for each others’ right to an opinion. you made a honest attempt to listen to and understand their logic, even if you could not get behind it You were open to challenge, it keeps ignorance at bay.

I have had those friends, and wherever I end up, I will look forwoard to a friend or two like that. We will have coffee and raise each other’s eyebrows.
