Loving someone grants you no immunity from disagreeing with them. If anything, the people closest to us are the ones we clash with hardest, because we actually care what they think. The real skill is learning to go at the idea without ruining the relationship.
We want to hear how this plays out in your life. What’s the disagreement you keep having with someone you love, and how do you handle it when it flares up? Maybe you’ve got a trick that defuses things, or maybe you’re still searching for one. Reply to this email and tell us your story.
MLB’s ‘Sandlot’ tribute will leave you in tears. Sports have always been bigger than the game. This emotional interlude that aired during the MLB All-Star game is chock-full of heartstring-tugging moments, from George W. Bush’s first pitch after 9/11 to fans uniting across the World Cup. The field keeps proving it can pull people together when little else can. In a divided moment, that’s worth holding onto. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

How does a Black man befriend the KKK? Daryl Davis, a member of the Builders Movement, has spent decades answering that question through his actions.

He listened, asked questions, and treated people with dignity, even when they didn’t extend the same to him. Over time, those conversations changed lives. Our Founder, Daniel Lubetzky, breaks down Daryl’s incredible story. Building bridges.
