(四)
　　"Sorry, but I don't agree with you..." This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego(自尊心) is hurt.
　　
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response
(反应) would be, “If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don't agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when I need to listen to what she says.
　　I've learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective(客观的) in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback(反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
　　Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions.
　　Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.
