That would be true if I was immune to bias and I had a good understanding of reality, but I don't and neither do you. People are not robots and they don't actually think all that rationally. Because of this, what people believe and the reasons for them go a hell of a lot deeper than what someone can rationalize. It's a pretty self evident thing, it's just that I admit it is happening when a lot of people do not.
But your individuality and your present need will be swept away by change,
and what you now ardently desire will one day become the object of abhorrence.
