Some topics are just better left undiscussed, with a mutual understanding that agreement is not ever possible. Why? Because we all have truths and none of them are exactly the same as anyone else's. Why? Ah, because people lie to themselves and misrepresent the truth, people can misconstrue even the best of intentions, people misunderstand each other, people allow emotion to rule where logic is clearly the wisest choice...why? Because we are all imperfect beings.
Agreeing to disagree is acknowledgement of our common failure. And it can save some relationships. Allowing each other the leeway to feel how they feel, regardless of whether or not we think they are right or wrong is the only means we have to co-exist without constant conflict.
