Foreign ideals are fleeting and do not deserve to exist.

I've always considered myself a liberal person. Indeed, to each their own, with a few exceptions... but that doesn't matter. Anyone can have any ideals, and their comrade or neighbor may respect them, but that doesn't mean that many people care about them. For the most part, everyone couldn't care less. A person creates their own moral principles for themselves in order to act accordingly, because they believe that this is the right way to act. And if these principles are truly important to them, they will defend them if someone tries to take them away, or if their "ideals are dragged through the mud." Yes, the world is a cruel place. No one said it would be easy, and that every person you meet will be gallant, polite, and considerate. Besides, behind all the demagoguery and mudslinging, there is often not just a desire to "drag through the mud," but perhaps the same "ideals," but completely opposite? Or just a bad mood? Or maybe it's so stupid/absurd/crude/immature/.../..., that the very attempt to Find a Deeper Meaning is heresy and nonsense? And if it's the first, that is, there are other views, does that mean that the person whose "ideals are being dragged through the mud by someone" is not himself a malicious critic of other people's opinions? And does that mean that he is obliged to respect this "dragging through the mud," since it is precisely this that reflects a view of the object from a different perspective? And should he remain silent? It's rambling, but I think the essence can be understood.
