I don't know why you seem to feel the need to apologize because we disagree. To apologize is to say that there is something amiss, something wrong, something that needs to be corrected. There is nothing amiss in a disagreement.
We are different people who think and feel different things. I am perfectly aware of the fact that my philosophy and my ideologies are extreme, "out there," and difficult. I don't hold other people to my standards for myself, because they are for myself.
When I gently pick worms up off the sidewalk so they don't get stepped on, I'm living my path. When I rejoice in the spirituality of my life, I'm living my path. When I refuse to act with hatred or anger or violence even when it would be "acceptable" or "warranted," I am living my path. But it's /my/ path, and it's not for someone else. And no one else needs to agree with it. It's a matter for me, my brain, and my Higher Powers.
