how do you make peace with the fact that the one person you've despised for their thoughts and ideas, whose thoughts and ideas were not only wrong but a moral evil, has convinced you.


they were right, nothing you fundamentally believe has changed but the specifics have changed, the good and the bad have now been jumbled up, and how one must react regarding the bad is bordering uncomfortable yet familiar.


neutrality cannot convince me, this is the only path forward, how do i grow accustomed?

Speaking about this so generically makes it hard to discuss, because it depends so heavily on context. What was so grievous that you deemed it a moral evil? Why do you feel differently now? Is this someone you know, or a public figure?

I can't really help much with such a general statement, but as per usual, it's always good to consider how you were convinced and why and who was trying to convince and ultimately to what end.

Make out with them hatefully #Kismesis /s


but on a real note, sometimes a broken clock is right or whatever the saying is so idk you can still disagree with some things the person said and just admit they were right about this one thing.
