This is similar sort of process you go through in certain types of therapy. Taking what you know and disecting it. It's really interesting to apply it to every day life. Will definitely give it a go.

Thanks for the note, Sarah. I have found this process to be very revealing. Interestingly, I have found that if I give the process an honest effort and my original belief holds up - I have that much more confidence and faith in my belief because I know that I have tested it.

My first reaction was you rewrote Gibbs Rule #51 (from NCIS). My second thought was I like finding out I'm wrong. Then I know I've learned something.

This is what I would do in debate in high school is there’s always two sides in the truth is in the middle somewhere

I love this, Matt. I often say I live in a sea of gray - black and white thinking gets no one anywhere. I used to think "I don't know" in response to a question was unacceptable. Embarrassing. Now, I embrace the "I don't know" answer. It leads to curiosity and great conversation. You articulated this beautifully. Thank you!
