I won’t go into the truth of these claims (each has its strengths and limits), but what interests me is the root of this tendency: why is the need to convince so powerful? Perhaps because: -we have an innate desire to share what has worked for us, hoping it may also help others; -agreement and resonance reassure us, strengthen our identity, and make us feel less alone; -sometimes we perceive our idea as a kind of “path to salvation” from an invisible harm, and keeping it to ourselves feels almost unfair. I believe it’s important to recognize that behind this drive there isn’t only arrogance or fanaticism, but also care, passion, and empathy. At the same time, it’s healthy to remember that each person has their own path and timing. Maybe the real challenge is not to stop sharing our convictions, but to learn to do so with listening, compassion, and respect. In this way, ideas can remain bridges, rather than becoming walls.
