If i would let them get evil "influence". And "evil" itself is a label.

To make this concept possibly better "graspable": I define myself to be a pessimist. Because i doubt things and people and are then nicely surprised when things don't happen like i expected them to happen.

But i'm neither "evil" nor "depressive" nor "bad" nor an "outlaw" just because others ain't able or willing to actually think about the overlaps and differences between these categories and scales they live on. They have a right to live in their mind-circles the same as i have a right to live in mine. The difference most of times between them and me is:

I actually spent and still spend a lot of time to well-define my circles in which i allow myself to change my point of view on these things. Sometimes i have to demolish whole mind-castles when they don't fit reality well enough anymore but that is part of my process. Which i regard as a new chance: every time.

I even believe that if everyone actually did this as concise and thoroughly as i do and stayed as flexible as i am, we all had a lot less pointless arguments and a much bigger spectrum of opinions to learn from each other "more" in a smaller time-frame.

This could open more doors to actual dialogue instead of just discussions, if you want to follow me so far.
