I will often share my beliefs and the basis thereof, but it is not 
for the purpose of persuading or dissuading anyone from their own 
perspectives.  I'm largely unaffected whether or not people may 
choose to agree or disagree with me. Or remain neutral for that 
matter.  We've each had different life experiences that have formed 
our beliefs, which serve for many opportunities for us to learn from 
each other.  We can find a teacher in virtually everyone if we look 
deep enough, because any individual has invariably had some life 
experience somewhere that we have not.  My brother knows something 
that I don't, and I know something that he doesn't.  Therefore we 
can all stand to learn something from each other, whether it be our 
selected lesson of choice or not.
