Let's make up an example. Angela, if I said that I, Daffy Duck, could teleport right in front of your eyes, but I refused to show you, would you really believe me? Would you really think I was being 100% honest?
And another one. If someone says they love you, but they continue to punch you in the face, would we really believe them? |
No, just you.
If you told me you could teleport right in front of my eyes, I would be delighted by your belief. I would be interested and I would request that you demonstrate, but if you refused to demonstrate, I wouldn't call you a liar or assume you were lying. I would either be interested in getting into your model of the world and learning more, or I would not be interested and I'd let it go. One thing I wouldn't do: get upset or insulting. (In the past I might have, though.)
If it were you, personally, Daffy, my guess is that I'd go the former route. So maybe I could learn to be more like you, and get better at helping people get into my model of the world, and that would help me get the results I want: to help people feel good. There's a lot to learn here!
ps.... you and your face-punching images. I mean really.
