An individual who does not allow emotions to over take facts, while at the same
time not allowing facts to minimize how someone else feels. They are open to discussions, ideas and conversations; and view debates as useful
friction. All facets of life are contextual, however, with
classic modes of being, trends and stories that can be used as sign posts or guidance (See pragmatism, and stoicism).
James
never lost his temper when someone shared a differing
opinion from his own. After all he was a philosophical
moderate and relished diverse thoughts.
