"Don't relate to a spouse like you relate to a car"
But....I know many (mostly) men who live their car, who want to know all about their car !

Good communication requires putting yourself
In the other's shoes. This is true for a person of superior intelligence or ability lowering himself to the level of the listener or student. Einstein teaches high school.

But, how does the less intelligent or capable person wants to communicate to a person of higher intelligence? By definition he isn't capable of putting himself in the other's shoes or mind because he cannot fathom the level, the intelligence or ability of the other.

If all 71 members of the Sanhedrin vote guilty
Even in a capital case then the accused is acquited and goes free. Why? The case was obviously not debated and argued enough.

So too, when it appears the whole world tells you you are wrong, guilty, obligated, etc., then you aren't!
