situation a) If a man has an opinion, and he believes it 100%, does he have reason to tell others his opinion? (hypothetically, I have almost deemed this impossible) situation b) If a man has an opinion but is unsure of himself, why does he tell others his opinions? firstly, there is a difference between telling someone an opinion, and sharing an opinion. To tell, would indicate an insecurity,...
