We are all so different that agreeing on any one thing is impossible. Isn’t that why any kind of propaganda exists? In itself, it is not evil. In itself, it is harmless. But the way it is used is why it can be so devastating. It’s all to convince us of something. Can we even judge if it’s something we can believe in? Any person who wants to be a fair judge has to be on constant guard.
It’s ok to agree on some things, but if you agree with everything...that’s dangerous. It means a person is not thinking about what they are reading. We should ask questions, have our own beliefs and ideas, and be able to argue against it if necessary. Information is good, opinions are good, as long as we can hold our own.
The fact that humans act on their emotions is both a strength, and a weakness. If we let our emotions control us, we can be led to an idea or decision like sheep to pasture. But if we do not use our emotions at all, our decisions will be made coldly, without compassion or passion, uncaring about how people are really affected.
