“i am blessed to know where we came from and where i am going after life here,...”
It’s fine to say you are blessed to “know” all the answers, when you are in your church group or in your Q group.
But in public discourse, I think the far more respectful approach is to express your views as thoughts, opinions or beliefs - rather than knowledge. That way people will be assured that you are open to hearing their thoughts, opinions and beliefs as well.
When you say “I know” - that can send the signal that your search for the truth is complete, and that you are not open to further input.
Of course, if you actually believe your search for the truth IS complete, then you may want to stick to saying “I know”. But in that case, others may choose not to participate in such a conversation.
i am too old and set in my ways to accommodate the feelings of others... hehehe...
if people are not strong in their own convictions, nothing i can do will change that, i figure. lots of people keep asking what i think, and most are sorry for doing so, but i call it like i see it, as i expect from others, but there are a lot of people out there seeing things that aren’t the way they happened.
i am secure enough in my researching of things to form a decent opinion on most things.
the search for small t truth is never complete... big T Truth, i have my faith in it. the world of men will always be an interesting arena.
