If only Bella was a donkey, then this video would be perfect

Sure, it’s a corny comparison, but you have to wonder if two completely different species can forge a loyal and trusting relationship, than how come two humans with differences can have such difficulty doing the exact same thing?

Regardless of your political persuasion, there are always going to be people that have a view (or a few) that are different than yours. In any situation where you’re working together, whether it’s in a coalition or in politics, differences need to be put aside. Some of my good friends are Republicans, and no, we don’t agree on everything, but we were able to find issues and values that we could agree on and just focus on those things.

Just as Bella was able to look past the fact that Tara is an elephant and Tara looked past the fact that Bella is a dog, we should be able to look past differing values and views and see the things we have in common. Maybe someone you’re working with is against abortion, but you both can agree that women should have the right to breast feed in public. Focus on the issue you both agree on, not trying to convince them that abortion should be a woman’s right.

Wait until you’ve been friends for a while to do that. :)
