I immediately thought of one of David Bowie's comments about creativity:

"If you feel safe in the area that you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting."

I agree with your whole thesis on disagreement. But, people have lost ability, skill, if not interest, to reach ''across the aisle" to those they disagree with. How many readers, who agree with your essay, can relate to having healthy disagreements with others in past week?
