Have you ever tried explaining yourself to certain people and it seemed as though you couldn't get the message across to them and you even begin to blame yourself for that as a shortcoming on your part?

The truth is, people only hear what they want to hear, see what they want to see; believe in what they want to or refuse to believe something they don't like or that doesn't suit their understanding even if it is true. People fear what they don't understand and hate what they can't suppress or conquer. That's the reason for the excessive attack and competition. Everyone hides behind the narrative cover of their ignorance.

On the other hand, most people will not form an authentic opinion on anything. They are too lazy to think for themselves. They will simply echo the popular opinion of others at the time just to fit in. Don't waste your time with too much explanations. You cannot make someone who is not listening hear you.
