It’s not right or wrong, it’s “do you understand?”…
The best relationships are born and thrive in this question. It’s not always about defending your decision. It’s not always about proving to the other person why you were justified and where they were wrong.
If maintaining the relationship is important to you, it’s about understanding where the other person is coming from, which doesn’t equal agreeing with them. It’s “do you understand them”.
“They are not trying to win arguments of right or wrong. They are trying to understand each other.”
Matthew McConaughey, Greenlights
