Why I don’t defend my beliefs.

As tempting as it might be, I have decided against defending my beliefs for a couple for reasons. And lately, because of these reasons, I have felt the need to defend them even less.

As much as I try to change or influence someone’s beliefs, I cannot. No amount of smart-ass arguments is going to work.

There is no point. If you believe in something, then it shouldn’t require defending.
