>Would I know whether or not I was satisfied, if I didn't consider it before jumping directly into the next action?
yes, unless you were relying on external forces to validate it. you're either satisfied or not with your own doings regardless of others. if your doings met your own internal standards, you should be satisfied. it's quite good to refine your own standards, but at a given point in time you can only work with what you have.
i get into a lot of `arguments/debates` with people. i don't argue to change the mind of the individual i'm debating. i speak my views so that they have been spoken. other people listening/reading can take whatever they want from it. i'm satisfied with that, but it seems you are not.
>If I told someone that out of the blue, I'd expect them to be skeptical and demand proof. If they took my word for it, I'd consider them to be very gullible.
that's the thing, they aren't even skeptical of anything beyond their indoctrination. they don't ask for proof or reasoning. they just attack you, like a bored aussie in the afternoon. despite all these so called `liberals` infesting various spaces, open mindedness is becoming very scarce.
and that's my point. plain truths either fit within the existing framework of one's mind or they don't. they're either accepted or mocked. it's the societally conditioned True/False dichotomy. it is possible to get around this dichotomy when the information is posed in the style of a poem / riddle.
