Commit to these three simple principles and you are on the path to maturity and wisdom in seeing the world more clearly.

1. Never mock the beliefs of others. Not to their face, not privately, not with your friends and people who agree with you. It is blinding.

2. Never attack the beliefs of another by providing explanations of why they believe it instead of addressing the actual claims themselves.

3. Always try to be able to state the case of those with whom you disagree better than they can.

Give it a try. You’ll start seeing some differences pretty quickly.
