Another walking thought...

As much I try to stay informed of other info silos, even if that means reading views that routinely have me shaking my head, it can be easy to forget why I do it:

1) to remember the humanity of those who disagree, and avoid making caricatures of them;
2) to temper my own opinions by routinely checking in with other points of view;

And most of all

3) to remember that the world is bigger than all of us, but we all have to live together in it.

Any other use is folly.
