"You're in a much better position to talk with people when they approach you than when you approach them"

This quote by Peace Pilgrim highlights the value of being open and receptive to others. It suggests that when we are approached by someone, we remain in a much better position to have a significant discussion with them compared to when we approach them ourselves. This is due to the fact that when someone approaches us, they are likely to have a real interest in speaking with us and we are most likely to be open and participated in the conversation. On the other hand, when we approach someone, we may have our own program or biases, which can hinder effective interaction. For that reason, this quote motivates us to be approachable and unbiased in our interactions with others.
