Do we see our individual thoughts, judgements, and choices as being correct and logic for all.
Is this clarity of inward and outward opinions and views of others and life reality for all or just individually formed due to where, how we were raised and our life experiences in all directions?
If we really could change our mindsets to acceptance, love and working together would we lose this incorrect view of self and see something different internal and external in a world seemingly covered by an invisible net of discourse and would we see our true selves at the same time.
I'm Just curious of thoughts nothing else.

@Kevin-Eleven
Not at all Kevin. I was just thinking about this and wanted some other additional thoughts for expansion of not an end result.
@mike69
First paragraph...Yes
Second paragraph...Yes (life experiences sway our opinions)
Third paragraph...Delusional...Impossible...The entire existence of man has been conflict.
To think modern people can solve that problem so we love and work together is laughable.
What exactly are you referring to?
This forum?
Racial?
World Peace?

@mike69 said1) I'm not in a position to know, but I imagine that might happen frequently (what you wrote in the first line -- but now that I think of it, also me not being in a position to know 😉 ).

2) Definitely arbitrary to a large extent, but we still have as much agency and ability to choose as we do, no matter how arbitrary or transitory those might be.
3) I'm not sure about the concept of "true selves" but I would agree that a lot of our problems are due to harmful mental narratives rather than physical or energetic constraints.
0) I'll admit that I often write in a compact, poetic way that looks more like decoration or intentional obscurity than a straightforward attempt to communicate, but sometimes that's the natural way for me to put my thoughts into words.

@contenchess saidI didn’t say it was possible with us. I guess I’m just looking at my own life, the forums and just in General. Would you say if one and two are correct there’s a good chance three is also? This is in the context of maybe why we make the choices we make and is or would this be our true self or created?

@kevin-eleven saidIt’s not a problem, no offense was taken. Its just a question from one person to another if they choose to be interested and answer. It’s positive and perceived? negative influences. If nothing else it is a possible way to understand one another??
