What matters is that you have an open mind. You do not need to accept a different position or opinion. But, you should respect their right to think differently than you.
It can be helpful to ask open-ended questions, learn about someone else’s personal history, and try to understand why the other person thinks the way they do. Once again, you do not have to change your beliefs, but a little understanding can go a long way toward having a kinder, more productive, and enjoyable conversation.
