Have you ever been in a situation where someone that means a great deal to you believes something about you that isn't true? No matter how much you try to make them understand your position they don't. Or won't. You are passionate and perhaps a little loud about your position, you want them to understand so badly.
If it is important to you do you continue to try or, after a period of time, do you just back away and say you don't want to fight.
Is it fighting to try to make this loved one see your side? Is it wrong?
It is rather like the politics up on the hill this time. People in the street marching because they don't want to see this liar lunatic in office. They don't want to let him make this laws to further the rich. But, how much do we fight? Do we continue or do we back down, turn and walk away from it all.
It comes down to this--Do we fight for our beliefs or do we just back off and walk away? It is the same in the public sector as it is in the private one.
How much? To the end?

i am afraid i am one that does not like fighting. i will try but i know if it is a loosing battle. in the family i try but give up after a long fight. but in rest of the world i feel i can not fight a loosing battle mostly alone. so i leave it for the young and able. i don't go to the length of hate. i don't think i know it all. i don't mind if someone is different then myself or has another opinion. we are all free to think and do as we like.

I don't think anyone like fighting. But, to fight for what we believe in and what we feel is important is something we need to do. We are all free to think and feel as we like. That is fine but we need fight for what we believe in.

It amazes me how many people get the wrong end of the stick and cling to it no matter what evidence is presented to the contrary

@celticeagle some people do seem incapable of listening to basic information

Public and private matters are handled much different. I don't back down from my beliefs, but I also don't feel like i need to beg someone to 'like me'. WE can't fight Trump, only impeachment would take care of that but not sure if the vp is better or worse.
When it comes to relatives, we moved 850 miles away for several reasons, and some of them still annoy the heck out of us.

I agree that I also wonder if the vp is much better. No way to get rid of both and even then no one any better at the house.

Exactly. I have had it with the roaring nasty calling me names fights with the relatives. I am over here and they are there. Tell you the total truth?? On my weekend West vacation, I contacted and visited with adopted family. Brother and sister were in that same town. I never opened my peeper and told them I was within a mile of them. Nope. I chose who I would allow in and who I would not. Sure had a sweet time, too.

@celticeagle Thanks. After that weekend I attended a job seekers class. I'm not looking for work but I got a brush up on goal setting and self esteem and that sure never gets old to think about.

Well if it is someone close to me, I will try to say my peace and make sure that the person does understand that what they are thinking is not correct about me..I hate when that happens too btw!!! Hate to be wronged in life.
Then if they wont listen, I back off and try another time later..have to here in my case, because there is only sometimes they are okay to be approached!!
If it is stuff beyond my control like, I may assert some energy into it, but I am not going to lose my life over it.

Yes, and learning to cope with each one is a good life lesson.

if it wasn't about you personally, I guess the question often comes down to, why does it matter they share your belief? Does it matter?
Since it is about you personally, all you can do is try to correct them once, but if they don't listen, dont think there is any point arguing.

No, no point. It came down to me having hatred which wasn't it at all. I hurt and want this person to understand just how much they had hurt me. Sad when people are so ugly toward the goodness of life.
