i'm open to you being open to that concept, but i'm not myself open to the concept that views can be considered mistaken by anyone other than the person holding them. it's fine to consider your own views mistaken, that's how we learn and grow and develop. but i would never venture to consider another's views as mistaken.

waves put it well. we're just here to figure out what works for us. in one way or another, all our struggles result from something or someone taking it upon themselves to tell others what works. i think we've had enough of that.
