<p dir="auto">How do you categorize something propaganda for the telling off?</p>

<p dir="auto">Please, even occasionally do the mental exercise that I recommend in the previous comment. Sometimes read opinions that are very contrary to yours and you don't even need to answer them, but make the mental effort to structure an answer with your own arguments, I think it is healthy to understand others</p>

<p dir="auto">Then again, when some MAJOR tragedy occurs in your life, perhaps you just want to take a break for a moment and let that burden be carried by others for a time.</p>
<p dir="auto">Just because you <em>can</em> do something does not mean that you <em>want</em> or <em>must</em> do so, 24/7/52/365.25.</p>
<p dir="auto">And arguably doing so incessantly is not healthy either?</p>
<p dir="auto">Also, the Intolerance Paradox is a real thing, so everything I said above is meant beyond that, not instead of it.</p>

And not just to convince yourself or others, the mere act of mentally contradicting someone else's arguments can be quite an important mental exercise.</p>
