You may disagree with me. In fact it is encouraged. My experience of life has taught me many unique and wonderful things that other people may not understand the same way I do, but one of the most important things it has taught me it that I might be wrong. (And by the way I am not the only one. Even very famous people renowned for their insight can be wrong)

The truly intelligent people, those ones I look towards for wisdom and insight all seem to understand that they are not infallible. They further understand that their wisdom and insight may not be universally applicable to all places and circumstances. That having someone – even someone of less renown – offer contradictory information is not a form of oppression.

It is the people who say “This truth is my truth and what right do you have to question it.” who are the most dangerous to society because it is the people who believe that some people cannot be questioned or contradicted that hand the tools of power to the despot.
