Prompt:
"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper."
Robert Frost
Is what Robert Frost says true for you? What makes you lose your temper?


Um, I must not be very educated *Laugh*. If I have to listen to anything repetitive for too long, I will lose my temper. If I hear the word "mom" more than a hundred times a day, I will lose my temper. If I hear outright lies, I will lose my temper. But different viewpoints? Different opinions? Simple disagreements? I am willing to listen to them without losing my temper. There is no point in getting angry at someone for thinking differently. Correcting a misconception is one thing, but I don't think anyone should have to tolerate outright lying and slander.
