Baahh... I love watching sheep...

Well, it is currently rush week. Call me cynical, but I really do think it's stupid. Not only that, but I think social clubs are stupid. Am I wrong for thinking that? well, no, because it's my opinion, but am I wrong for believing that as a fundamental truth?
I realize I do that with a lot of topics, moral issues, etc. I think that my opinion on the matter is right, no matter if I can iterate it or not. I "just know" I'm right. Why is that?
Don't get me wrong, I will hear people out and even agree with them, but when that happens, I think to myself, "Self," cuz that's what you call yourself when your talking yourself, "I was already thinking that deep down," or, "How could I know? I wasn't ever educated in that area."
Why does is feel so vulnerable to be wrong? And, if we know why it feels so vulnerable, then, why do we think someone is instantly stupid,ignorant, or idiotic for being wrong?
How am I so conceded when it comes to my emotions, but so cut-throat when it comes to others'?

These thoughts have kind of been adding to the thoughts of, "am I too cynical/critical about things?... Do I have the right to call out people?"
It especially rang true in my "person finance" class. My professor, who will remain nameless, manipulates scripture to say that Christ died so that we may be rich.
What did Jesus do? What does Jesus do? He looks for what is wrong and does something about it, right?
shalom.
