If you wish to find common ground, you have to identify and focus on the "Grains of Disbelief ". You might even find that an overlap exists between your "Rocks of Belief" and the other person's "Grains of Disbelief" on this particular subject. If you see yourself as the Believer in the picture, you will hold certain "Rocks of Belief" in your mind which determine your position on a certain subject or issue.
