“Why is it often difficult to experience disagreement with another’s point of view without getting upset? Is it not possible to express that one would not have made the same choice, without tearing down what another has done?”

This perfect quote came from an unlikely online conversation about home decor (original post here).

My take: Our cultural need to - at all costs - be agreed with is almost pathological. I hate myself every time I’m forced by a paycheck to cater to this profoundly childish cultural insecurity.
