The world is full of people who confuse the two, but not you… just speak your truth.
People need to talk to each other, face to face (even if over video chat). This eliminates anonymity, and seems to cause folks to meet the conversation with humility, and more times than not find common ground. That’s when both parties are looking to learn from each other, vs. convince each other. We need more of this. Conversation. Ideas. Humility. Or we’ll get more violence…and we all seem very tired of that.

A great deal of harm can be done with words, especially when one has power over the other (parent/child, etc). Extreme examples qualify as violence.
