As a writer, I’ve found that entertaining the notion that everything I believe may be wrong allows me to access a repugnant mindset. I suspect this is one of the trickiest and hardest parts of writing:
Being willing to explore the perspective of someone you would never associate with in real life.
Not an easy task.

It certainly makes life interesting if you ask me. I enjoy hearing different perspectives on what people think and/or believe.

It’s important to explore different perspectives and get out of our comfort zones, that way we learn and can decide what is right.

Yep, exploring from someone else’s perspective can take a lot of psychic energy! [Starting with the inner conflict focusing on ‘Why bother?’.]

It is kind of fun, too. Like acting-you’d never really be that person, but you can learn they have their own odd spot on the planet. And if they are really horrible, they make great cannon fodder.
