Compliment
Appreciate Their Response
No matter what they say, respond with enthusiasm: “Whoa, what a great explanation. I really like the way you put things.” “If more people thought like you, the world would be a better place.”
Lean into the appreciation — overdo it a little to make them feel valued.
This energizes the interaction and builds trust and openness.
Remember: They’re your guru now — they’re teaching you.
Introduce the Karma Image
Say: “Generosity breeds generosity, violence breeds violence.”
Show the karma picture (cow with man's head and vice versa).
If it feels too intense or controversial, you can skip this part.
