Well said, enjoyed this. It's a conundrum at times to be able to see both sides. I do, in a way, enjoy the conviction of someone hard set in their beliefs, there's some fire in that surety, I have it on certain topics that I personally will not waiver on, but you're right, it's when others expect us to bend to their beliefs where everything goes to hell in a handbasket. I think there is a loss of the juxtaposition between objective and subjective truths that has created this black and white reality where nuance and critical thinking is obliterated. It's been interesting to witness this, I've seen people become so grandiose in their thinking that they have truly gone mad. The need to be right might stem from not being seen, in this information age, everyone is starving for wisdom and real connection.

No beliefs in my posts. All hard evidence. Evidence speaks loudly. Due diligence goes a long way from all citizens if they wish this madness to end
