recreating our culture

americawakiewakie:

Why is it that when you tell somebody they are wrong, then go on to tell them why, you are all of a sudden ‘belittling’ them? What happened to logic? Evidence? Changing perceptions? We live in a world where…

If you have passion, you’re an extremist.

If you have conviction, you’re a zealot.  

If you have courage, you’re a radical. 

If you have strength, you’re arrogant.

If you have intelligence, you’re a narcissist. 

If you have reason, you’re intolerable.
