Everyone has certain opinions about life. There is a certain point of view in his visions of the purpose of existence, political point of view, about where he stands and about the future. In fact, there is a belief preference due to a different understanding of the religion he believes in. Therefore, people think in different colors and live in the shade of these colors. It is normal for people with different views to have a different view of the world. It is the imposition of different opinions, which are not normal, on others with the claim of absoluteness.
We experience this problem in all areas of life. Both past experiences and what we have witnessed today show us that; It is to create the medium that will make people's opinions dominant by taking ownership of their thoughts. My opinion is absolute, and this thought should therefore be for everyone, and it is inevitable that this path will move towards oppression and a prohibitive understanding. No one has a chance to argue an opinion that is absolute. Therefore, those who attribute absoluteness to their own thoughts also believe that these thoughts should be adopted by everyone in some way.
The absolutization of thought reveals two main motivations. The first is the arrogance of competence and the other is the power of bravery. The concept we call arrogance of competence is that a person sees only himself as competent to think correctly. Because the right information, the right perspective and the right interpretation belong to him. Other than himself, they do not have these characteristics. This approach results in stigmatization of the generated idea. Labels such as modernist, reactionary, reformer, westerner actually arise from questioning the competence of others from one's own standing.
At first glance, it can be thought that valor gives birth to absolutization. Although this statement is partially true, the main point is that absolutization breeds valor. Because the absolute is valuable and does not accept discussion on it. Thus, as the person expresses his/her thoughts, he/she will base himself/herself on indisputable values, thus taking away the will of others to have a say on these issues. For example, when concepts such as the state, modernity or ahlisunnah are absolute, the chance of discussing them disappears. Now, people today have their own political views on concepts such as the state, homeland, nation; The fact that they base their practices on social life on concepts such as progressiveness and modernity, or their understanding of Islam on the people of the Sunnah, causes the growth of valor.
In this way, each group of people who think differently sees only those who think like themselves competent and shoots others by taking the absolutes produced as a cover. This situation contributes neither to the development of thoughts nor to the emergence of the truth. On the other hand, it removes difference from being an opportunity and deepens the separation and polarization.
Of course, no matter what opinion, a person believes that his own opinion is more correct than others. Because we cannot expect that person to accept and defend an idea that he or she doubts is true. It is reasonable and logical to act with the belief that it is right when expressing, defending or transferring these thoughts to practical life. After all, an idea matures when it is defended with this belief, but also when it is validated with other considerations.
