you have understood that everyone has their own opinions and views and they are what they are... and trying to change others opinions and views are not about some objective reality or "right or wrong" as much as it is about self validation and affirmation. a healthy person just has no need for that. BoyAlley does. he is angry, unsure of himself and feels threatened at ever turn. it's understandable to an extent. he hurts and attacking makes him feel better and more "right" but in the end, only hurts himself and will deprive him of ever knowing and understanding true peace.

Thank you. I consider myself barely beginning to "get it."
And well said about validation. The people I admire who *know* what they believe have no desire to preach. No need to convince. They just walk the walk...and it is louder than any screaming debate.
