There are plenty of ways to make stupid sound wise, and many ways to make people believe it's fact.

And when someone counters it, many feel attacked and lash out on anger and defense.

There is always more side to a truth. And if people can be open to search and see connections, we might learn more.

But I guess our search is restricted by limitations. To our own's willingness to deal with opposition and our desire to learn more no matter what the cost.

But sometimes, especially given the state of the world now, I realize there is another factor. Many of us are just too tired of dealing with people who do not feel safe and whose energy clashes with ours, maybe even to the point that the energy feels like nails on chalkboard or a red flag.

What is it about being a grown up that makes me feel so, so tired and just wanting to be done sometimes?

Is the world still to blame or myself?

I wonder if it is rude or arrogant to say. I feel I have no more patience dealing with people who do not want to grow or be better, or people who just refuse to put in the effort to understand.

There is so much rude and ugly in the world. I do acknowledge that because something may have started with a bad encounter or conflicting views means that is all there is to a person. But arguing and even making each other see reasons and varying points take time. Time, I do not want to spend on that. So yeah, blocking it is.

Maybe there is more to other people. But for now, I'm signing off.
