oane whats the point then? What are we all working for. I get discouraged I wont deny that, sometimes pissed. I dont think a person should ever lower their guard fully, but if risks arent taken in trust it wouldnt be place worth being in. If "story" is even close to controversial, I attempt to believe I dont apply preconditioned beliefs to formulate my conclusion, but critical thinking. People I associate with are from all walks of life with different ways of looking at things. We have debates, opinions, sometimes dead end disagreements, but in the end we each respect one another because of the research done behind of beliefs. I have lost friends, but its because they refused to see the their beliefs WERENT less than perfect.
Debate to me is no incovnience, I'll speak my position with zero hesitation. I dont know if you were in the last forum, but there were threads where I was the only one who could see where i was coming from. I'm sure there will be others here. It hasnt popped up yet, but there is a subject thats very heated that I will definatley not back down on, even though I know hardly anyone will agree. That doesnt mean I'm going to close my mind though.
If what you've witenssed here is giving in on my part to beliefs that I dont truly feel, all I can say is thats not the case. Beyond that you will believe what you will.
If you see the world sucking, then its going to.
If you consider yourself to be a good person and the world sucking, what are you prepared to do or contribute to help change it?
