Spock And Captain Kirk needed to learn to get along.
In our heads we are Spock. Our rationalising is faultless. We are so convincing that we cannot help but believe every word we tell ourselves.
Even if what we tell ourselves amounts to…
”This is what I believe, and nothing you say is going to change my mind”.
Maybe we simply need to acknowledge that about each other.
Maybe we need, more often than not, to say a big fat YES to whoever the other person in front of us is, and instead of trying to change them, help them to move in the direction they want to go. To become the best version of the complex hybrid of obviously wrong opinions mixed with well meant intent, which most of us in fact are.
”Aye, Aye, Captain'“.
