How Do You Express Your Opinion?

How do you start a conversation?

With small talk.... isn't it?

You meet a stranger and a light conversation is what you engage in, in order to feel comfortable.

That was not the case, however, when I met this stranger.
The conversation started with the basics and suddenly we were both talking about controversial issues such as feminism, religion and society... to the extend that we had to be interrupted in order to get back to reality.

We were both having a conversation, exchanging ideas and opinions without arguing.
And even when more people joined our conversation, he was able to calmly express his opinion with facts and silence the opponent. 

I was impressed by this. It is not everyday that you meet someone that has an opinion, is able to express it without arguing.

I guess he was probably very bad with small talk... but he certainly knew how to have a discussion without insulting anyone and most importantly without being aggressive trying to impose his views on other people.

SO....

• How do YOU express your opinion?
• Do you discuss or are you trying to impose your views on others?
• Do You Listen or just Talk?
• Are you prepared to admit you might be wrong?
• Are you willing to learn? 

How do you make a discussion worth participating in? 🤔
