Maybe we should ask – what could posters do to improve themselves?

We are having here conversations between observant, and often learned, people who have very different haskofos. Many of us either do not have a chance to often meet other groups in person that often, and usually just say “gut shabbos” and do not get into discussions of haskofos. So, hopefully posters, and readers, use this chance to expand their horizons, maybe go read seforim by others, that are not necessarily “their” gedolim; look up classical sources that support different opinions.

To push this point, ask this question – how many opinions here correspond to where the person was born or went to cheder? I see only a couple of exceptions where people changed their derech based on their life experiences. Now, following one’s mesorah is a great thing, but please reflect whether if you were born in Kletzk and another person born in Pinsk, is it likely that Hashem’s truth resides in Kletzk, while for the other guy – Truth resides in Pinsk. Maybe, Emes is in neither and is in Minsk or even Damascus.
