    Not in my case, I think. Very stereotypical conservative, religious parents. Have rejected many of their bigoted values, kept the work ethic, tried to carry empathy to it’s logical conclusion rather than stopping when they thought it was hard. I’ve changed religions. I think my country’s military policy is abhorrent.

          Didn’t I just say that everyone thinks they are special? I’m quite aware that they do. That doesn’t make it true.

            Then don’t make generalising post titles with the words “we are all” when you are happy to contradict that with barely any persuasion.

            Or just admit you wanted internet points and intentionally used a rage bait title like a filthy redditor

              Dude this is a shower thought. Like saying we are all in a VR. Most shower thoughts can start with we.

            You’re essentially saying that “nobody is special”, which seems unlikely. Someone’s gotta be!

              Now now. I said everyone thinks they are special but that doesn’t make it true. I absolutely did NOT say that no one is special. That’s a different statement.
