I see what you're saying. You want to be able to fully express what you are thinking so that others can understand what you're talking about. (I presume to think that's what you mean). But you know, you're never going to convince everyone no matter what. You may not even be able to convince ANYONE, but that doesn't mean you're wrong, just that other people aren't getting it (maybe rather than avoiding it?). And if someone is actually that kind of hateful person, I believe they will eventually reveal themselves for who they are in other ways. Sometimes you just have to wait for fate to take care of itself. I have seen it happen in a major way. After I was majorly wronged, I avoided retribution, or even defending myself, because I believed the person would get what was coming to them no matter what I did. And the other person ended up having very bad things happen to her. I however, could feel proud I didn't sink to her level, and am not only a better person for it, but have had positive things I never dreamed of happen. I don't know if its really 'karma' or 'fate', but regardless, keeping a positive mind frame definitely made a difference in how things turned out turned out for me.
