Motionless Point-Of-View Hurts

People are never more true to their personally held positions than when attempting to teach them to others or trying to "convert" those who disagree. People's own self-identifiers will become less concrete when not expressed in a fashion meant to inform or coerce.

If someone expresses their position with the thought of solidifying their own stance instead of enhancing someone else, even sub-consciously, the flow of information back to the teacher or coercer gets blocked, eliminating the corrective force of new information that inevitably returns. The “truth” of the original communication then remains damaged by not having accepted the repair. Further attempts at sharing then become harmful to everyone because the information results in an infliction rather than an improvement.
