Water flows downhill.

Maturity has to descend to immaturity.

Maturity cannot raise immaturity to maturity’s level.

Preaching, chiding, ridiculing, chastising, etc.,

Are worse than useless.

Maturity walks among the immature,

Listening and making inquiries.

“What makes you think that what you think is so?”

“How does this position which you hold

Square with that position which you hold?”

“Where did you hear that?

How do you know they know what they are talking about?”

Do not push a point.

We are not trying to win a debate.

We are trying to open doors.

Not wide open.

Just a crack will do.

Let the questions do their work.

Keep floating questions down stream,

Sinking answers.
