William Herndon, Abraham Lincoln’s law partner in Illinois, was astounded by the fact that Lincoln religiously read two of the most prominent Southern newspapers each day.
He asked his partner about it one time, knowing that Lincoln was vehemently anti-slavery, and that the Southern rags of the time proclaimed differently - frequently quoting scripture to bolster their point.
Lincoln calmly remarked that it was helpful to know what the other side was thinking.
I think the logic still holds true today.
Immerse yourself on all sides of a debate.
It’s helpful to know what the other side is thinking.
