Civil discourse - especially between dissenters - promotes growth.

It allows both parties to recognize that they may be diametrically opposed points on the same circle - and that preservation of the circle may be more important than their points.

Write a six-word essay describing the photo above. Your description will be judged on its ability to catalyze civil discussion, to promote growth, healing, and responsibility; and to inspire.
