it depends on the situation if, for example, I will be in trouble if I still want to stand on my ground where the ground occupied by almost the majority of the opposition ideology, do you feel it is still worth fighting for your own personal ideology in this particular situation?

if someone is allowing themselves to be raped because the rapist has manipulated them into thinking someone's grandma will die if they don't consent, is it "showing respect" to play into the lie and also pretend it's okay?

this would depend on the person's critical thinking and how they will face the situation at the front. If it would be me, I don't believe that would happen to my grandma, but if they do it by force/threatened my life, I will consent to the act pretend it is ok until I find my safe way out then return back to them with justice if needed.

where exactly is the boundary drawn where one is acceptable and the other is not? simply because governments say a mask is necessary and people believe it, in spite of large amounts of scientific evidence of its detrimental effects both physically and psychologically? because enough people have bought into the lie?

people are where they needed to be. We may plant the seed, and some might get the seed and grow and some just may be destined to be staying there. They may come back and try again until they get where they were supposed to be. It is frustrating but it is the way it is. Without darkness, there would be no light, and if only either of these exists, there would be no balance, and the universe been working with this concept of balancing since the beginning, if there would be all light with no darkness to balance things out, will the universe still be working as it is?
