Every so often I have the urge to remind myself that I, like everyone else, speak for my own benefit. But I think it is helpful to express my thinking in a more objective form than merely musing or thinking inside my head. The Way to Go
No one can persuade anyone else of anything. Everyone makes their own decision to believe something themselves and they deserve either the credit or discredit themselves alone.
I consider myself as a witness, likely many do. But I still reserve the right to change my mind. As someone said, or given the credit for, in one of those quotes where many different ones are credited with saying, I only explain, it is up to others to understand.
