And I may ask that directly or indirectly. And some people appreciate that their voices are valued. I had a class once when a student, almost to the end of the quarter, said, this was the first class she was taking that somebody actually has to worship for. The student came to say that because of the experience in class. And one of the things I do is also to ensure that when they speak, that voice is not diminished, they do not feel that they are not valued in class. It's a combination of using small groups. For instance, I use small groups, ask them to respond to questions differently. And so in some cases the people who are not willing or who are not comfortable sharing that they are in the same group. So when they have to report back one of the masters, somehow they begin to gain that respect for their own voices and assure that, oh okay, yeah, what I know actually is correct. And if I don't know, I'm not put down before my colleagues and that kind of thing. Even if I disagree with the view that is offered, I just think that it's a different way of looking at it. It's not like it's wrong. And I let them know that, yeah, I have not thought about it that way. I'm not saying it's wrong. It's just that I've never thought about it that way. And now you are inviting me to think about it differently, which I appreciate. So in all of those, I see that it's possible for people to then begin to say, oh okay, I'm valued, I'm a precious part of this particular class. And also occasionally I tell students that we're here together to do this. It's not a one person show. It's just an accident of circumstance that I'm in here and you are there. It could be reversed. And if it's reversed, then I expect my voice to be respected if I offer one. So all of those I try to balance and it's probably part of it. The product of my own experience as a student because one, as an extremely introverted person, I will sit at the back of the class and I will sit behind somebody who is taller than me and the professor will not see me. And if I can't find that kind of seat, I will slide under the chair so that nobody will see me and if the professor's eyes are coming to my direction, I will look away. And I know that some people are still like that. But here it is to learn and the topics are challenging enough. And we have to find ways of allowing people to speak, offer their voices. What we should avoid doing is to shut down those debates as difficult as they may be because that's the reality of some people, those difficult conversations, those difficult issues are the reality of some people and we are just invited to think along with them and empathize in the journey and see if we can help them out of those situations in which they are.
