I apologize. I was using the word "theory" as it is explained in webster:
"Theory - a supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, especially one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained."
But you are correct. What I have stated is an idea/thought.
"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."
