Quote by Jimmy Carter

A fundamentalist can't bring himself or herself to negotiate with people who disagree with them because the negotiating process itself is an indication of implied equality.

A fundamentalist can't bring himself or herself to negotiate

Summary

This quote highlights the reluctance of fundamentalists to engage in negotiation with those who hold opposing views. Fundamentalists strongly adhere to specific beliefs and often view any form of negotiation as compromising the absolute truth they hold. Since negotiation involves acknowledging different perspectives and finding common ground, it implies equality or legitimacy of differing viewpoints, something a fundamentalist may find incompatible with their worldview. Consequently, fundamentalists may be unwilling to participate in negotiation as it challenges the certainty and superiority they accord to their own beliefs.

I was born and raised in the high desert of Nevada in a tiny town called Searchlight. My dad was a hard rock miner. My mom took in wash. I grew up around people of strong values - even if they rarely talked about them.
