"At least she wasn't the living embodiment of my damned ideology"|Reading from Rule 9|BP Episode 14

In Dr. Jordan Peterson's book, "12 Rules for Life," there is a rule that has stuck with me while reading. Rule 9: "Assume the Person you are Talking to Might Know Something you don't." It is a powerful rule, and one I think we all can learn from, especially in these trying times in the U.S. and around the world.

He begins the chapter with a meditation on what it means to give someone advice, and how advice is usually not helpful, longterm at least. The section on advice ends with a resounding statement on what it looks like to leave someone the "embodiment of your damned ideology," giving them a one-sided story to wisk away their problems, or says they are no problems at all, without going through the challenging process of facilitating discovery on what they actually are and how they can be fixed, not ideologically, but individually.

I'd encourage anyone who finds this attractive to read the chapter and the rest of his book for that matter. Dr. Peterson is a modern-day prophet. One who seems to see underneath current circumstances.

I haven't stopped thinking about that ending phrase ever since I read it weeks ago. I don't want to leave anyone the living embodiment of my damned ideology, no matter the ideology. I want to give honest thoughts as I try to follow Jesus, partner with Him in building the Kingdom, and help people think about things differently, not ideologically.
