When curiosity surfaces, gently question any unexamined assumption you currently hold dear. Rushing the moment compromises the depth of the ordinary thought you wish to share. Allow the open space before reply to hold all possibilities gracefully present. Let expression meet connection in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you build support for a useful habit as you reduce one complication.
