If You Believe Me...

If someone wants to tell me what is wrong with the way I think, then I will eagerly listen to them with an open mind, and even expect to learn something. But if someone wants to tell me what is right about their own way of thinking, then I see no reason to waste my time listening to them, as I would expect to learn nothing.
And if someone wanted to tell me what is right about my way of thinking, then, if I was bored, I might listen to them merely to humor myself. Yet, if someone wanted to tell me what was wrong with their own way of thinking, then I would drop whatever I was doing, and listen to them carefully. Not so that I could learn something, but so that we all might.

If you believe me,
And you receive me,
We will be together this day.
