Learning information to teach to a population. That's all it should be. Information. It's simple. Why do so many people care more about an opinion than the information itself? Truth. It's immovable. Information, it's movable. We're working with what we know now. Have an open mind. Information will come and go. Information will inch closer to truth. Don't put another person down, because they have different information than you do. Don't belittle a person that has a different opinion. Opinions. That's all they are. It's like if you judged a person for their personality. Opinions aren't actions.
Yes, it's a thought that could lead to an action. Yet...Still a thought, to explore and to better understand information on a personal level. When the opinion is degraded to a child's level of degrading another person for their belief, or the way they understand information from their point of view...this is when opinion becomes something else. This is when opinions become dangerous. a
This is what I'm coming to learn, all the way out here away from home. I see that I've stooped to this level, in the past, and it was dangerous. I'm trying to break this habit. Because, this is when you lose precious relationships, over something that wasn't worth fighting about in the first place. This is when you start fighting for ideas, instead of eternal principles. This is when you should have fought for what was really important. Instead, that idea took over, and you decided to give up what should have been a necessity to you. Instead, you gave in to an idea of something else, instead of holding on to what was real.
Teaching isn't about you. It's about the information and teaching other people what it's about. One must learn to teach/share in such a way that a person can formulate an opinion on the matter, change their opinion, or strengthen an opinion that they already have. Sharing information is NOT the same as sharing an opinion. It shouldn't be.
