In reply to Pamela Thompson. Shakespeare said the pen is mightier than the sword and our writings can reach a wider audience at different points of time to make a difference. Just like Marx did for a class of undergraduates. :)

Comprehensive and insightful post Vatsala! Yes I do have strong points of view on issues I care about. One being fairness and treating everyone with respect, and another on building peace in the world and how simple it really can be when we believe that we are really all the same (most of us anyway). I have found blogging and creating and delivering speeches that share my point of view with emotion and provide people with opportunities to take inspired action, helpful ways to share my point of view on issues I feel strongly about.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom on how to develop and share a robust point of view.

In reply to Trilby Johnson. Writing is a powerful way to express one's POV, Trilby. Our duty to ourselves is to express our authentic viewpoint, even if others don't respond to it. Perhaps they do but don't express it openly.

Great article and topic Vatsala. Growing up I wasn’t allowed to express my point of view at all. So it took a long time for me to start speaking up and out. I realized too that my POV differs quite a bit from the status quo. Writing enables me to express my POV in a comfortable way. I have also had to work through lack of response or feedback to make peace with just sharing what I know can work. It’s up to others as to what they do with the information I provide. Love Gandhi’s strategy! Thank you.

In reply to Barb Parcells. I agree, Barb. Our points of view depend on our experiences and views of the world. There is no right or wrong view - it's what we believe and are willing to articulate while accepting others.

I’m always open to others point of view as long as they don’t try to prove their is the only right one.

In reply to Maribeth Decker. I think you will find it easy to get your message across to fellow animal lovers and spiritually minded individuals. Even the ones who don't understand our POV will respect it if we put it across in a manner that appeals to their logic if not their emotions, Maribeth.

I am discovering I have very strong POVs about animal welfare (Well, I am an animal communicator) and our spiritual life. Thanks for this article on how to start sharing my POV in a way that people can listen and consider it!
