Ah, The Good Old Days

When I was a "young" adult, I was usually pretty confident that my particular take on things was pretty accurate and it was clear that differing opinions were flawed in some way.

Now that I'm older, I find that I'm not nearly as certain of my lines of thought and much more cautious about asserting them, at least to casual acquaintances and strangers.

In these times of polarized opinions, it would be useful for everyone, at least on occasion, to argue a point from different sides to see that there may be some good points on many sides of an argument and identify possible ways to compromise (unlike this character from Wiley's comic, "Non Sequitur").
