““Sincerity is often mistaken for a truth, when it fact it may have no resemblance to truth whatsoever. Sometimes we do make the mistake, when we apprehend the sincerity of a person, that sincerity somehow validates the belief. To put it simply, a sincere person may be sincerely wrong. Truth has nothing to do with sincerity, and when you mix in our current definition of tolerance, the room for error multiplies grievously. The faulty measure of an idea’s validity is correlated to how sincere the presenter might be. It is hard to see how our society could get any further away from a simple definition of right and wrong, of good and evil.””
