I tell them that I believe in COMPLETE health. That's why I am against the mask.
So they look at me and ask. What is complete health.
I say that people are not animals right? They kind of laugh and say of course we are not.
I say.. ok.. being human is both PHYSICAL and MENTAL/EMOTIONAL right? Such as our "thoughts" and "feelings" matter to right?
So I say.
The mask is only a "physical solution" to a "physical problem". I wouldn't mind doing it if it didn't hurt my emotional/mental state.
Then I break the famous seat belt example.
I say
You agree that wearing a seat belt is a good thing for protecting our "physical health" right.
I then say.
You agree that wearing a seat belt does not hurt our mental health right?
I then end the convo by saying. That's why I don't have a problem complying with seat belt laws.
I love this!
It has a great pattern to it! You start by not establishing agreement or disagreement, but a very positive sounding phrase. “Complete health”.
That allows a conversation to continue without a guard being put up immediately, and gives you the opportunity to walk them through things logically, one thing to the next.
And at no point does it devolve to name calling, meaning even if they don’t leave the convo agreeing with you, you’ve still planted a seed.
Many smart people (including Rush Limbaugh) have said that you need to help people reach their own conclusions, and make them think they came up with it on their own. This facilitates that so well.
Agreed! This is what works for me.
We need to be fighting for COMPLETE health. Not just physical health
This is also known as the Socratic method, executed beautifully. Living in a leftist city I’ve also had to learn these methods versus outright stating my views.
This is nimble navigating, nice work friend.
Thanks!
