When people see something other people are doing, that they believe to be very, very ethically or morally wrong, does it inflame there passions, there sense of injustice, and lead to them to speak and act in overly-emotional ways in the attempt to fix it, and lead to the people there trying to address to either tune them out or retaliate in equally overly-emotional ways, instead of calmly, effectively trying to convince them to try to figure out for themselves if they really are doing something wrong, and fixing it effectively if they are?
Does this apply to any side in any debate, especially about highly emotional issues such as ethics, morals, rights, liberties, politics, and religon?
This idea came to me when I was considering the things I've said, and how they have been misunderstood because I was over-emotional do to feeling so strongly about them, I know I've inadvertenly been too offensive, leading some people to not understand the meaning of what I've been trying to say.
