On the one hand, we usually feel that this is a good thing-- because it lends her better listening skills, better PEOPLE skills in navigating that kind of environment, and more compassion for those who hold minority perspectives.
It's generally had the opposite effect on me, because I'm not trying to navigate the environment as much as I am trying to force to environment to match my internal feelings on how things must be.
I tend to not have compassion in conversation for those who hold incorrect perspectives, because, after all, error has no rights.
So, I keep my mouth shut as opposed to engaging because that way I stay calm don't project anger outward.
It's a problem of generating a priori moral absolutes and then using rigid mathematical calculation to determine the outcome with no respect for either the cultural or human element.
Mouth shut = harmony!
Happiness!
Butterflies!
