Even if the close contact can't be created (meaning the differences are too big) the attitude does pay back, giving you a more balanced approach. Thanks for the comment Jonathan,

I really like the points of how much less energy is used in agreement. Fighting to be right is more effort and also like Jonathan said, leaves a hole that doesn't work well when developing that friendship, especially in a first impression. .-= Mike King´s last blog ..<a href="http://learnthis.ca/2009/08/do-you-demonstrate-moral-leadership/" rel="nofollow">Do You Demonstrate Moral Leadership?</a> =-.

I really work at this and I've noticed something remarkable over the years. Many times, when I work at finding common ground (reasons to agree) with someone who is challenging me on some level, we often end up being close friends. I think honoring someone who doesn't see eye to eye with you initially creates a feeling of respect. And let's face it, respect is a good foundation for friendship.

If you're not doing something you love, you tend to be more aggressive. You're trying to escape from your own rat race trap, but you tend to blame the others for that. Thanks for being here :-) Hi Robin,

I find that life flows so much smoother and that most people who think we are SO different, given no opposition will usually let down to find that common ground with me. No all, but most. I've also found that we are more often alike than dissimilar. I really have little attachment to any of my beliefs or concepts. I'm very open minded and yet very action oriented in my own life. I guess, less talk and more action. I've COMPLETELY at ease with someone having a different opinion. As long as I'm doing what I REALLY need to be doing in my own life (doing that things that REALLY fill my heart and soul, the things I LOVE doing, it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of me or what I love doing. I'm so wrapped up in the passion of my life that I'm just intrigued, fascinated by other people and how they view the world and live their lives. This is a wonderful post Dragos. I really enjoyed the way you articulated something that is appearingly intangible, and yet you nailed it. Good job.
