There is universal information that surrounds us all.
Each and everyone of us has our own ‘independent lens’.
Our personal lens takes in bits and pieces of this information,
And begins to filter and process all the incoming data that surrounds us.
Opinions begin to form in our minds, and some of these opinions are
Self-driven with such force that they spill forth.
Some people become addicted to their own commentary, so they
Continually spill forth. Testosterone seems to help this.
No one likes to be told that they are wrong. It can be hard work to take in
New information and reformulate one’s opinion. It is much easier to stick
With one’s old opinion.
As a result, people tend to surround themselves with people that will
Reaffirm their own beliefs.
Most men want their wives to be an echo chamber for them.
If you love me, you’ll agree with me.
I believe in ‘tough love’. I will not merely be my husband’s echo chamber.
I have my own mind and my own independent lens. I can formulate my own unique opinions. Thank-you very much.
