Charlie Kirk: How to disguise a polarizing monologue as constructive dialogue
Failing to empathize with one’s brother or sister distances us from God and truth By not empathizing with the other person, by not listening to them, by not opening our hearts to learn from them, by seeing a brother or sister in God the Father as an enemy, and by intellectually fighting against their position, no matter how logical our argument may be, we are only distancing ourselves from God. God expresses himself both in my soul and in the soul of the other. If I block out the reality of the other and only blindly proclaim “the truth” of which I am totally convinced, I close myself off to the contexts that it implies, and therefore, I distance myself from the truth itself, given that God is love and truth. By closing myself off to love, which is the first truth, I distance myself from the truth, from God, and from my brother.
