How you talk about things or how things are expressed to you, frame your perception of reality.

Terrorist or freedom fighter?

Uncomfortable truth or hate speech?

etc.

One does not re-translate what is said to one, into some universal, neutral idea.

So, you then have to wonder, are your thoughts actually your own? Are they based on what you yourself have perceived or on what has been provided to you? And who is it that is doing the provisioning? Have they got your best interests at heart? Do you have other people's best interests at heart when you say things to them? Do you only speak truth, or do you echo provided opinions? Etc.

Quite surprising the read:

> Who cares?

Surely everyone cares about having a valid understanding of reality?
