Wordless Scream
Dec. 8th, 2022 06:46 pmEvery day I must contend with the fact that:
A. I don't believe something is right or wrong based solely on what friends or authority figures believe. I believe things are right or wrong based on the evidence I am able to obtain, my attempts to apply logic to that evidence, and my own personal values.
B. My understanding of the world contradicts literally everyone I've ever known in some substantially important way. If my beliefs are X, Y, and Z, then I have met people who believe X and Y, but are against Z, or if they agree with Y and Z, they definitely don't agree with X. And so on.
C. It's really important to me to be able to express my core beliefs.
D. It's really important to me to avoid conflict.
In summary, *wordless scream*.
