For example;
I would like to try communicating that (I feel) my perceptions tell me that;
The more that someone firmly believes that what “works” for him will “work” for “everyone”,
the less open that person will be towards other viewpoints since that person will (most likely) believe that his way is the “only” way,
And since that person will (more likely) be highly intolerant of other (and possibly far more viable) ways of seeking deep life fulfillment (for example),
That individual will less likely be in favor of the freedom of others since his world views will be so shallow and narrowed by arrogantly believing that his way is the “only” way,
So as for anyone like this,
I must keep trying my best to stay away,
And/or (continue trying to) develop and sustain the inner peaceful confidence required to function in the ways that I see as most fit,
Regardless of how much anyone like this (who I can’t instantly avoid (if ever)) tries to arrogantly change and control me by forcibly making me follow the closed-minded belief system that he regards as “truth” (for example),
And in time,
hopefully it becomes easier,
Yet (speaking for myself) it can feel extremely hard,
When it appears that so many people like this,
Are in so many positions of great power and influence
