If at first you don't succeed, try, try again?
I'm struggling to understand, are you suggesting you just keep thinking about it until you get a specific belief about it? How does that sound good?
One day you'll understand. Hopefully not too late.
That's supremely condescending. You could help me understand but instead you're literally just doing what you say others do, assuming anyone who doesn't believe the same way you do isn't thinking about it long enough.
Well, let’s say I had a feeling that if I had answered “yes, basically”, then you might have given a condescending response instead. Apologies if I misjudged you.
And no, I’m not suggesting that everyone believe exactly as I do, merely that it is possible to change your beliefs regardless of evidence. Propaganda makes use of this all the time.
Then it sounds like I also misjudged you. I probably saw a subtext that you were wanting the earlier commenter to believe the way you did and that they just hadn't tried hard enough. Probably just a disconnect at the "if at first you don't succeed" part.
I appreciate your candor and kindness.
Life before death friend. Life is too short to die on a hill where I'm shown to be wrong.
