Eventually, we can start to mimic the behavior of our adversaries, harming what we hold most dear.

Did you know you’re likely to have had over 89,000 heated altercations with your closest relations before you reached the age of eight?

Brit Barron gets it. Those people who hurt us with their bigotry and ignorance . . . they’re often the people we love: They’re our friends, our parents, our grandparents, and even our religious leaders.

Barron shows that the way forward is to create a gracious and risky space for people to learn and evolve. We need to form the sorts of relationships where we can tell difficult truths, set boundaries, forgive, and share stories of our own failings.
