It is hard for me when other people's ideas and opinions on a subject don't mesh well with what I think I know. We all wander around with ourselves and I think lots of people are anxious and can't stand to feel they "don't know", it feels like they're lost? So they take what little they may know and decided 2 + 2 = 5 because they, personally, happen to have 5 It makes sense to them based on their experience and imagination but not to someone who has a better grasp of mathematical principles? If we are only going by our limited experience/knowledge right now, it's like the 5 blind men trying to describe an elephant?
