Let's break it down:
To get there, we will do our best to follow these basic principles:
Let us work to find connections when we can,
accept when we cannot,
and learn to tell the difference.
We try to hear what others are saying, and not just wait to respond. We work to understand where they are coming from, and not get too upset if they fail to hold the beliefs we wish they held.
When someone says something that seems wrong, we ask them about it, rather than simply telling them how wrong they are. If things go well, they may ask us about our beliefs.
And we keep in mind that asking "Were you born stupid or did you study?" doesn't count.
We go beyond the headlines, the tweets, and our comfort zones, to get more of the full story.
We do our best to reach out, rather than waiting for others to come to us.
