When I said this:
"How do you know a person, if you never walked in their shoes?
How do you even assign to them anything, if you are looking at them with your own prejudices? "
It was rhetorical rebuttal to folks who claim that their belief/assertions, on any given topic, is truth.
You see a lot of wholesale "facts" tossed about in this form, from only having read a story/article, from their favorite news outlet.
Its what they want to believe, it seems to me.
You are absolutely right, if folks don't really know, they should ask questions for clarification.
As I alluded to in my last reply, maybe we don't want to know the real truth, by walking in another persons shoes, when we find more comfort in our own
