>So true! They're belief system is valid for them only. As long as they don't confuse their beliefs for the truth (and as long as I don't, either!), everything should be fineTrue and well said - it's not the holding of opinions that is generally at issue. It's generalizing up into TRVTH. I'd say that there is an intermediate step, though, and one that is very frequently 'the problem'. That is EXPLAINING a preference. Almost none of us are content to say 'I prefer X to Y' and leave it at that. For the most part, 'we' seem to need to take the step to 'I prefer X to Y *because* of A, B and C'. From there, A, B, C etc become the foundation of the belief system(s), and since they're externalized they become impersonal, and more prone to being taken as absolutes. And, needless to say, 'we' are very frequently wrong about A, B and C - both in that they are sometimes just plain wrong, and even if they aren't they frequently aren't actually the reason we like X in the first place.
