Challenging Opinion

To state I am wrong and you are right isn't a problem to me. An opinion challenged is quite healthy and stimulates debate and examination of an isue. There may be no resolution of the difference of opinion, but the issue has been aired.

If you are being honest with yourself, to express an alternative and argued opinion does mean you have read or listened to what I have communicated and compared it with your own viewpoint.

This is how it should be.

A difference of opinion should be just that. Quality argument can persuade though it does not make that argument right by simply being well argued. It can still be fundamentally wrong.

Argument and debate can healthily follow.
