Spirited debate is wonderful and we dont do enough of it! I just had an hour long argument/debate/conversation with an old Christian man in the jacuzzi at the Whiting Center, and it was glorious. Glorious is the moment youve delivered a poignant thought which has moved him to question his stance; even more glorious is the moment when his logic has persuaded you to do the same. Its great to be open minded and malleable; to admit you dont know everything; to evolve and adjust the way you view the universe. We yelled, we laughed, we got frustrated but in the end, had a good hand shake, are better friends for it and took joy in the fact we had just exercised our minds. I think it feels so good because Im accustomed to shitty rants on CNN or Facebook that are more pissing contests than debates. We should think with each other more often, its healthy I think.
