Yes.

  This answer is vastly underrated. Sometimes, a simple question begets a simple answer. Especially when asked in earnest. We can assume it’s a troll, but someone out there asking this, is not. I know there are people with an agenda who aren’t interested in an answer, and will say whatever to poison the water. But I honestly believe that, at least in their sphere of influence , they captured well meaning people who just happen to be getting a very one sided perspective on it all. Sure, they too might not always seem honestly asking , but they are human and we are tribal creatures. We can’t expect everyone to constantly question their friends. But deep down inside , perhaps some people aren’t as sure as they pretend to be. Perhaps they are honestly asking, somewhere, deep down. And if they are , they’re not asking for facts. They’re asking for trust. Is it, really, real? Showering people in facts doesn’t always help. Sometimes, we just need to look across the divide and say: Yes. Yes, it really, really, is real. Please take our word for it. This is serious. We beg of you. And we need your help. At least, that’s my theory.
