If you believe something is true, then it's true. It should be
enough. You'd only want to convince other people that something
is true because: a) You don't believe it yourself b) You have a
desire for the world to experience this wonderful thing you
experience c) You have the desire to rid the world of ignorance.
Of course on point c) If you want to rid the world of
ignorance.... why? Betterment of the future? Justification that
you're right? (validation) I dunno. And even on betterment of
the future: Do you believe there is a Utopia on Earth is
possible? Well, that's the problem with many ideologies. We've
never had one before. It's illogical to believe we'd ever have a
Utopia.* Of course it's possible - and I'm all for people
trying, reasonably. [unfortunately, I see the Utopian ideals
with a LOT of groups of idealists - just rid the world of x, y,
and z, and we'll all live in peace and harmony... etc etc] [oh,
and why am I bothering to write this?* Easy.* Validation. When
someone agrees with me, it makes me feel as if I know what I'm
talking about, and that feels good.* When someone argues with
me, it feels good because I said something worth arguing about.*
And.. when people say nothing, it's because they silently agree
or don't care or are being too polite to disagree.* All good]
