This week’s topic: Finding Common Ground

The Idea

‍If we begin our relationships by finding out what we have in common, then we will be able to talk about our differences. However, if we start with our differences, then conversation will be much more difficult.

Between each sort and type,

But we are more alike my friends,

Than we are unalike.” - Maya Angelou
