Only thing is we are not talking about a car. We are talking about something much more personal and internal...your beliefs. What you feel is right and true about the world. What you feel the world and life is about or not about or just simply what it is. Most people will not get upset with someone's insistence about the superiority of a certain make of car. But when you try and tell someone that everything they believe about the world and their existence in it is wrong, it's much, much different.
