“In true dialogue, both sides are willing to change”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Simplified Meaning:

When two people have a real conversation, they are both open to the idea of changing their minds or adjusting their perspectives. They listen carefully to each other and consider new ideas, rather than just trying to win an argument or prove they are right. For example, think about a discussion between two friends about healthy eating. One friend believes in low-carb diets, while the other supports vegetarian diets. In a genuine conversation, both friends listen to each other's reasons and experiences. They might learn new things that could change their own eating habits. Applying this to daily life, whether it's at work, home, or in social settings, try to be open to what others say. Instead of just defending your own views, sincerely try to understand theirs. This can lead to better solutions and stronger relationships because everyone feels heard and valued. By being flexible and open-minded, we grow and learn from each other.
