Strong Opinions (2)

.......So, now I hold no strong opinions.

I feel I don't deserve to hold them. Why is this? How do I get out of this trap?

It's simple,
but not easy[1].

Do the work required to hold an opinion[2]. Don't believe something simply because it sounds good, it's easy, or because you believed it so in the past for reasons you don't recall. If you can't explain it in lay-mans terms, you don't really know it[3].
