It took me an embarrassingly long time to recognize-- in accordance with my own worldview-- that people who react differently to the same stimuli are operating under different environmental pressures.That doesn't mean they're always right... but it does mean that their feelings need to be considered in light of their own circumstances, rather than in the light of different people living different lives.Just like I can recognize that someone isn't always right and that some of their concerns are not valid... without dismissing that sometimes, they have a point.</blockquote>
