I upvoted every reply here too because it's so awesome to reflect on all the different responses as well. This community really is amazing. Etiquette understanding is important to get on the same page with too! We learn as we go...here we g(r)o(w) again! My experience with cognitive dissonance is that it helps to show both compassion and respect for the older or more "challenged" belief while integrating a new one. Doesn't always work, but it certainly helps deflect immediate defensiveness. In many ways, insight is a responsibility and ideally a courtesy( Removing or pointing out the stone we tripped on in the path so others won't trip.) We hold onto beliefs because they make us feel safe, questioning beliefs is scary, but sometimes necessary for our safety! Keeping that in mind, let's challenge away! Respectfully
