HUMBLY UNSURE

When it comes to knowing what’s right, what’s best, what is the true nature of things, or having answers to life’s important questions, I feel inadequate. While others most assuredly promote their beliefs with black and white certainty, I am silent and see shades of gray. I can’t forget the complexity of the world or the smallness / ignorance of any one person. I’m not sure enough of anything to lay it on everyone else. I trust not in high principles, but in small experiences. (Note: This person enters arguments hesitantly, but after presenting facts and noting uncertainties may confidently seek the truth and express an opinion.)

I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU

I feel I have found "the answer" (what to believe, buy, how to behave, the best way to do something, etc.)  And  I feel obligated to share what I've found with you, so you too can benefit! Please bear with me if it seems my evangelizing, persuading, lobbying, etc disrespects your beliefs, values, or feelings — I have your interests in mind!  (Note: Some see these people as selfless leaders willing to helpfully step up and point the way forward, others see them as dispensers of propaganda who selectively use facts / emotionally charged language to promote a self-serving agenda.)
