The issue is the recognition of the fact that there COULD be an alternative point of view which may seem as valid to the other person as yours seems to you.

I am personally ambivalent about some of the traditions but I do believe that people who are directly linked or associated with them must have a say in whether they should be followed or not. I also agree with your observations of false equivalence and how dangerous it can be, holier than thou attitudes and WE know better postures engender resentment and never end Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07902477722975419630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740777121261184425.post-44070013082033361822017-02-20T11:48:20.877+05:302017-02-20T11:48:20.877+05:30False equivalence itself is a much misused word.
