How do you decide when you are wrong about a person or situation?
Imagine you believe with everything you have that you are right, that you have rational justifications for everything you believe and that you have no direct evidence to the contrary. BUT everyone you know is of entirely the opposite opinion, and is quite happy to tell you so. When every time you try to defend your point of view there is someone ready to shoot it down, and even though you could respond you become so weary of trying to fight an apparently losing battle that you just give up trying.
How do you decide if you are right and everyone else is deceived, or if you need to get more realistic about the situation? How do know that you aren’t being fooled? How do you know you haven’t driven yourself insane wondering about it all the time?
