You may not understand the mindset of a friend or a family member. You may
not understand this person's opinion, which could seem quite strange or out
of character. You could go on and on arguing your point in an effort to get
your loved one to see things your way, Moonchild, or you could use that energy
instead to try and understand that person's point of view. The first way will
only earn you frustration. But if you can manage to see things from your loved
one's perspective, you could open up a positive dialogue and get past a problem.
