Broadly speaking, you probably agree with the large majority of the views commonly attributed to whichever group you identify with - what are the exceptions? Something that if you mention without a caveat immediately makes people jump to conclusions or even attack you?

I will be honest, I held this same view for many years and still agree with it on the face of it but there were two things that people said to me that softened my view.

  1. We need good people to make more good people. (Apparently my friends think I’m a good person. Weird)
  2. There be dragons in our society but what good are dragons without dragon slayers?

Obviously these weren’t the only factors but they both really resonated with me. My first dragon slayers is due this month

    The trick here I think is parenting in a way that passes along whatever good you may have to your child. Unfortunately (or fortunately, in some cases) the moral compass and general ethics of the parents don't always translate to the kid. How to do that effectively is a whole other psychological debate. Either way, congrats and best of luck!
