Being offended by someone’s view is the new trend.
Constructive arguments are boiled down to feelings which places fact and truth locked away in isolation.
Nobody cares to make sense anymore all they care about is, “my opinion matters.” No matter how ridiculous that opinion is or their inability to give that opinion life, they still think it matters.
Everyone is truly entitled to an opinion, but that entitlement should be rendered invalid the moment you cannot give that opinion a foundation to stand on its own.
I do not have to agree with you because you feel you are right. I do not have to agree with you because some authority you admire says you are right. Numbers (i.e. amount of people) do not add up to accuracy, fact and properly stating you point does. You cannot claim you are right because you have the numbers.
Having a great amount of number of people believing in what you say or sharing the same collective reason does not mean anything in a conversation if you can’t explain/defend that view, without getting emotional.
We need to be open minded and not allow our feelings direct our opinions. We also need to read and investigate things for ourselves – make room in our minds that what we know may be wrong, and the only way we can know the truth is by investigating without getting emotional.
