We are committed to our beliefs and like to find support for them where we can and that bolstering makes us feel like we've found some truth. Of course this is easy to see in others and then I follow the bread crumb trail back to my own behavior and there it is clear as the weeds in the garden.

A heavy foot on the scale of a resonant piece of writing that conforms to my belief configuration and the emphasis feels just right. Except that it's not.

It is simply another (yawn) opinion of which the world is not lacking. Weeds indeed! They are everywhere and annoying.
