It's not necessary with your friends to discuss something you know you will disagree profoundly on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them.
There are certain things you don't discuss with Ansel, especially if you don't agree.
That's something that the world needs to learn today: that you can disagree and still be friends.
If you don't like what someone has to say, argue with them.
When you go through some controversy and you see your face on the news in a negative way for 48 hours... you doubt yourself. And your friends make the difference. They become a safety net that come in and say, 'That's not the case.' And the relationships that you've built... come to the fore.
Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy.
If you have learned how to disagree without being disagreeable, then you have discovered the secrete of getting along - whether it be business, family relations, or life itself.
You've got to do what's right, or what you think is right. And you've got to make tough decisions. And you've got to be willing to take on your friends when you disagree with them.
I'm a point of conversation for my friends.
It's a very important thing to learn to talk to people you disagree with.
