... that pretty much sums up me...

I gathered.

It sums up a lot of people, probably a good chunk of the population.

Maybe not a large chunk, but... a sizable one? Like... 60%?

At least in the 50% region.

But it somewhat depends on things like upbringing and culture, as well as other aspects of personality- most are more likely to complain and generalise about fairly mundane things like their job, people they know, local politics etc rather than big issues, and some will generalise more (and generalise more aggressively) than others too.

I feel like sometimes on the big issues, the ones that should be our shared humanity, we still have so much fundamental divide, it's impossible to ever feel hope. Sometimes. Not all the time, though. Though those times... get pretty bad, tbh.

One person is always right, two people are always wrong. It takes a third person to make rationale.

Only the Sith deal in absolutes THEREFORE only the Jedi deal in generalities.
