I can see that there is very little receptivity around this topic. That is fine. I would suggest that instead of using your brain like a hammer to approach every issue, consider how this might* feel *to someone. As we have also learned, the mind is not the only source of intelligence. Looking at things with open perceptive lenses, we can see faults and correct them, without defending our actions. Its easy to twist logic to support something, but its harder to understand and trust others. Sincerely,
