RE: The vaccine story leads me down another cold path ❄️
Not sure I concur with your Them & Us conclusion - if another person is intolerant of your informed opinion, the onus ought to fall to them to reserve or modify opinion, not you to silence yours - unless of course you are challenging or threatening them.
And that of course is the issue - if someone's belief system is threatened or undermined, their whole world comes tumbling down, including their blind trust in patriarchy and what the doctor and media call fact, otherwise my whole life is fraudulent!
Thank god for a few discerning dissenters who understand the appalling misuse of science and power that goes into scaring people into one toxic medicine for all - vaccination!
Yes, I don't really enjoy the them & us feeling and would never be rude to someone because of their life choices. But when people are rude to me I feel as if a wall goes up between us and some kind of media induced picture of us is created in their mind which seems to justify the wall.
Speaking about this subject on Facebook I was receiving threats to my life and private messages from lots of angry people... all because I wanted to share my perspective of the world with them.
Very grateful that here on Steemit I don't have the same problem :)
Yeah, seems there's a great deal of intolerance out there which is frankly ignorant and tragic - I too have been hurt by people's misinterpretations of my own perceptions, but then again, I heard a wise person say, "What anyone else thinks of me is none of my business!" ;) So on we go on our merry way, offering up our pearls come what may!
