Fighting ignorance with ignorance does not work.
Intentionally misunderstanding or accidentally oversimplifying a person's thoughts, feelings, or motives will not persuade them to your side.
Talking down to them will not make them want to hear you talk.
~~
Other peoples' choices may not be our responsibility to make, but pushing them away can have dangerous consequences.
I know it can be hard, and I know it's frustrating, but we have to be careful about how we talk to people if we're gonna achieve the outcome we want.
Remember: don't get so caught up in fighting against that we forget what we're fighting for.
