help-circle














  • back when i was younger and had the energy and focus to do so, i would engage with my father (whom holds unreasonable opinions such as you are up against with your family).

    often, i would catch him making a point which directly contradicted an earlier point of his. i would then circle back to the earlier point and connect the two, breaking both of his arguments and hopefully forcing a concession.

    but somehow he was able to blind himself to self-contradiction. it was infuriating.

    the moral here is that i do not think it is possible to change anyone’s mind, even if you are clear and rational and your point is water-tight.

    your love for and enjoyment of them must be independent of political and religious differences. good luck!
