I heard those two phrases contrasted today.
Basically, we were having a discussion about the merits of confession. Everyone was basically saying the same thing, but everyone was also trying to assert his individuality. Everyone was saying, "no, I think...". But if anyone had stopped to listen, he would have realized that there was much more agreement than anything else.
Why are we so quick to assert our own ideas? I guess it's the natural thing to do. We communicate with other people, but come to a conversation being very much an individual. We really should try to be more community-minded.
