I think we all wrestle with authoritarianism and/or controllingness vs. democratic attitudes and perspectives. When it comes to our opinions, beliefs, and values -- especially the ones we believe in the most, and feel the most passionately about -- oftentimes, it is just plain, hard to let go. Still, in areas that are undefined by the law and do not violate human rights -- for example, matters of metaphysics, religion, ethics, and the like that do not have any mathematically 'right' or 'wrong' answers -- that is exactly what we need to do...let go before or after our editorial case has been made...and not keep 'hanging on' with a 'pitbull bite'... Either people find a way to integrate their opinions, beliefs, and/or values -- or they don't. There comes a point at which we all need to simply respect, accept, and/or tolerate our individual differences...
