This is something I have pondered about many times, how I react and to temper the emotions when being confronted by opposing views .
Where there are empirical facts that are argued only because of congnative dissonance.
What creates that mental blockage and a stubborn refusal to see a universal truth.
Pride , a need to prove that we are smarter, stronger than others mentally . Or is it something deeper ?
When I find myself wanting to kick into the fight mode to defend my stance whether it be an intuitive hunch or a cold hard fact that the other person is denying or debating the reality of .
To shatter another persons' "reality " is to destroy that persons' inner world .
Wisdom and building inner calm and inner peace over time has taught me that it's pointless, a waste of time and energy at the end of the day .
Why do we feel the need to seek constant approval and to be right ?
When in reality many truths can exist at once .
Personal truths, are subjective.
Universal laws and truths are objective undeniable and unchanging no matter what we feel or think .
It's not easy to put the ego / pride aside and this primal need to fill a void , or to be right, stronger or smarter as a driving survival instinct .
Instead start living from a place of loving acceptance of your own and others' truth is permissible and completely valid .
...Great little video with some food for thought 🤔
