My chevruta and I have been studying Rabbi Menahem Mendel of Kotsk. Today, we read, "It is written in Midrash [Tanhuma on Parashat Pinchas]: 'Just like their faces are not identical, their ideas are not identical.' Just as you are able to tolerate the face of a person whose face is not identical to yours, so to[o] you should be able to tolerate someone's ideas that are not identical to yours. (E.E.No. 629)"


I can only say, Amen.
