News to me: The truth is larger than any one telling of it
While I respect the age-old wisdom about steering clear of politics, sex and religion in polite conversation, those seem to be the only things that anyone wants to talk about these days. My line of work has something to do with it, I am sure. So does the fact that this is an election year. Lately I have had a hard time staying out of arguments that serve chiefly to increase my sense of my own righteousness, thereby decreasing my chances of drawing any closer to my neighbor.
