We don’t have to agree on things – on anything, in fact – in order to stay friends. What we do have to do is respect each other’s beliefs and thoughts.
However, if you think it’s okay to put children in cages, and to mock disabled people, and to treat women badly, that is where I have to draw the line. I do not believe in a lot of absolutes, but I do believe that we should all treat others with respect and kindness, even when we may think they don’t deserve it.
And even then, it is important to realize that real education may be the answer. I truly believe that people do the best they can with the information they currently have; when they know better, they do better.
