Have you ever had an idea in your head that you were on both sides with: you thought was bad but also good? And you try to separate the two thoughts about the subject but you can't. It makes no sense at all because it basically makes you a hypocrite.
Let's take Marijuana for an example. You won't ever try it because you know it causes lung issues and can make your mind do crazy stuff but when someone asks you why you won't do it, you don't really have an answer. Or maybe they ask you why you think it's so bad but you don't know why, you just think it is. You could care less who does it and you don't support it but you also don't-NOT support it. You're indifferent. They can smoke all the marijuana they want, but you can't. Or they can booty dance all they want and you don't care, but you can't do it.
There's this issue in my mind that I just can't get past. I'm not a hypocrite but my mind tells me that I am. It says "this is totally okay, just not for you."
The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
This is constantly my problem as well.
