I agree with these statements. In today’s society opinion trumps facts. Sadly many people could care less about facts.

Yes, and since humans are such 'perceiving' creatures, our 'perceptions' (opinions, basically) have massive leverage, impact on, and importance to the way society plays out.

So glad you get it. Being oneself has historically led to a more fulfilling life, with increased access to personal power, at least eventually, and measured internally and individually by the doer. I don't really see that changing, and we'd have a backwards world if the common wisdom was "definitely do not be yourself" and "avoid contributing value", I'd say, lol. I feel blessed if I'm able to positively impact Hivers and bring some value. #BeneficialForTheWin

This sums up quite a bit. This is a whole chunk of good wisdom you’re sharing here :)

Thank you! Good sum-up lines and ending notes are important, so I do aim to deliver. It's so validating when someone notices, heheh (not that I'm a people-pleaser! :D)

As usual, I appreciate your thoughtful, high-value, brimming-with-kindness-and-understanding comments.

You rock! 🙌
