you are wrong and so am i:
August 14, 2007
when people have emotionally-charged opinions that lack a concrete factual basis that is comprehensive from all directions, they are, in general, wrong.
people have lots of baseless, emotional opinions. people everywhere are able to give you their baseless and emotional opinions, and most people are willing to accept their own baseless emotional opinions as established fact. rarely do i hear someone emotionally deliver an opinion and end with this statement: 'i am probably wrong.'
if you are spurting-out a semi-baseless emotional opinion that relies on emotion rather than established fact, or maybe just feel that someone is wrong about something that cannot be established as fact through concrete evidence, consider using 'i am probably wrong' after your opinion or stance. think about it long and hard. use it in a few other situations, maybe, and then come back to it, even. do so often, until you actually like it.
most importantly, consider applying it to the thing that you believe the most in, emotionally. because, in reality, you are probably wrong. and being wrong, at least slightly, will help you understand that other people are also probably wrong but do not understand that they are probably wrong themselves, and this will give you a valuable insight into your own stupid and emotionally-charged opinion.
i know all of this, because, usually, i am wrong, and 'i am probably wrong' makes me feel better after i feel emotional about something. when you are wrong, and accept the fact that you are probably wrong, no one can tell you you are wrong, because you have already accepted being wrong.
remember this. apply it to your everyday life. thank you.
