There is no evidence for you or evidence for me.There is only evidence. (Thank you Simon.)
If I see a troll in my kitchen, I have seen evidence that trolls exist. If no one else has seen a troll, they have not seen evidence that trolls exist. Therefore, having seen the troll was evidence for me, that trolls exist. But unless someone chooses to believe me, this means nothing to anyone else if they have not seen it themselves.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
