Great question Soph, had to deal with almost the same when in the army. Sworn to protect you and your right to your beliefs while I may be in direct opposition.

First thought, but it sounds too glib is, understanding and compassion. Sometimes the reason the *why* a person believes something is more important than the *what* they believe.

Your question will be the fuel for my wife’s and my daily discussion topic for our day. Thank you for that.

Have a beautiful and mindful romp through your day today.
