If you think dialectically:
• You will become more considerate, moderate, appreciative, aware, diplomatic, honest, respectful.
•
• You will be less apt to be blind-sided, because you will already have looked at that side.
• You will not need to make as many apologies.
• You will make fewer mistakes.
• You will be less apt to go off half-cocked.
• You will eradicate personal arrogance.
• You will understand others–including your opposition--better.
• You will ask more questions.
• You will read more.
• You will come to have more patience, humility, wonder, openness, sympathy, integrity, appreciation, community, tolerance, honesty.
• Others will come to respect you more.

I'm a student doing my thesis on Dialectical thinking and the environments' impact on developing it. The words you used to describe it, open, appreciation, wonder... is some of the connecting words I can use as some of my rationale for why these two things would be connected (as those are the words that seem to pervade the rec/outdoors literature). If you have any articles/books that talk about this connection i would love to hear on your blog. Just wanted to let you know I appreciate it!
