Dave had another one of his amazing essays, this time on Debate Versus Dialogue. As usualy, it is thoughtful, well researched and has a paragraph that speaks to me, and for me:

"I love to be part of dialogues. But while I'm often attentive when others debate, I'm rarely willing to enter into them. That's probably selfish of me -- if I were more active in debates, others might learn more from me. I'm too preoccupied with my own learning, my own Let-Self-Change process, to be as generous as perhaps I should at helping others learn along with me. But I'm still practicing, and maybe if and when I get as good as Dave Snowden at debate, or as good as Chris Corrigan at dialogue, I'll become more generous at both."
