dittoo. personally, ive jumped through many different loops to understand the opposing views. (i havent succeed a bit, things get complex, the deeper i dig.. )Surprisingly when ive meet the laymens, they never cease to amaze me, their primary focus is to impose their personal beliefs on others (eg: making takfirs etc), and you are not gonna be spared, until you fully accept/comply to what they say.. and

As you have mentioned, the knowledgeable people are quite different where they don't 'push' you to one direction, they'll give you whatever you ask for and leave it up to you to think it through. this creates a strong trust, knowing you have the ability to thnk for yourself, and you are not gonna be just assumed to follow someone just forshizzles of it.I respect all my teachers for their open-mindness and ability to maintain that coolness with me while they know, they are bigger and better than me.


thanks everyone for reply. (F)
