FRIENDSHIP
Thomas Jefferson on Friendship
“I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.”
In an era of increasing polarization, Jefferson's words feel almost radical. True friendship — and true collegiality — can survive disagreement. In fact, it's strengthened by it. The ability to hold different views while maintaining respect and connection is one of the most valuable skills we can cultivate. This week, practice it.
