My grandson Joshua Rocha writing on his Facebook timeline Oct. 10, 2016 about the time he turned 21. Where did that boy (young man now) get the ability to rationalize and articulate like that?
"People obviously don't have to see eye to eye on everything. There does have to be a concerted effort to become more informed and understanding. It's okay to not know everything as long as you keep trying to understand. Simply saying "that's my opinion and it shouldn't offend you" doesn't intellectually reinforce your opinion or attempt to help someone else reach a mutual understanding. When discussion becomes an argument is when it becomes a waste of time. Some people get the two mixed up. I swear I'm a super light-hearted person so I hope this doesn't come off as pretentious. I'll admit to sitting on a fence a lot."
