just my thoughts... this thread feels sorta twisted compared to some other ones on here........ (ones that I feel more resonance with on a personal level)
love you all though
"fear leads to anger … anger leads to hate … hate leads to suffering - Yoda"
Subjects that relate to fear can tend to make the dark side of people come out more, as it creates a strong desire for control. I think the difficulty of this conversation is that the most polarized extremes that participate in it seem to deny their own fear as it relates to the subject while attempting to point it out in others. So all sides of the conversation probably make more valid points than the other side is willing to give them credit for, but the discussion is unable to actually progress because both sides only desire to control the other side's perspective without desiring to grow in their own.
