On the need to take into account the experience of others

The statement is very relevant to the current moment.

Ukrainian society is in a deep trauma and crisis, fragmented by completely different experiences. That is why everyone communicates and argues in relation to what they have experienced. Remember this before you write something, oppose someone's posts, or get into an argument with someone in the comments.

“Give people space and opportunity to express their pain and bitterness, even despite logical fallacies and unstable rhetoric, without facing resistance from counterarguments”

Even if you think you are in the right and they are obviously in the wrong in their grief and trauma. But they do have grief and trauma, and it may well be greater than yours, and thus balances and complements their logical faults. They make them justified.

Give people space and opportunity to express their pain and bitterness, even despite logical fallacies and unstable rhetoric, without being met with resistance from counterarguments that they are capable of perceiving only as denial of their pain.

Perhaps they need this more than you do.
