Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I think this is actually the popular opinion. I believe that no one person can deal with every single issue the world has, and it’s not selfish to choose what actions you do take to help the world. Not everyone can put the energy in to save the dolphins. But if that’s your calling, you should go for it, and not judge someone for not putting the same level of energy in as you. It’s not hiding your head, it’s focusing your energy to be more effective. Passion is needed to make the change needed. It’s okay to choose your battles.

        Either I understand you and don’t agree, or I don’t understand you and therefore you don’t know where I stand on this topic, so you don’t know how far apart we stand. What part do you think I don’t understand, or would you rather dismiss me?

            My message was to someone else. I’m guessing it was deleted or something, I don’t know. I’m very new here. I can see why it would appear rude, so if it matters I’m sorry about that. I’m not sure how I am engaging without good faith… that would imply I’m not interested in considering someone else might be right and I might be wrong. I consider that every time I engage someone in conversation.

            As you said, you didn’t have to engage, and so for your answer I am grateful. Have a good day, and for what its worth I hope more people start personally finding the planet to be their calling. It’s a good one.
