That moment when you find out someone you deeply trust believes a “conspiracy theory”

Dear reader my world feels like it got turned upside down. I just found out someone I deeply respect and look up to believes a “conspiracy theory”.

I am not going to state the theory because I don’t want to get caught up in a debate about said theory. That isn’t what I am trying to express/personally deal with right now.

It’s about the fact that I personally trust and look up to the person a lot and I try to stay open minded about things, while still have a personal deeply held belief that facts do exist and not everything is relative.

I thought that I had made up my mind about the “conspiracy theory” when I looked into with as much non political sided info as I could get but now I am shaken wondering if I am wrong.

I feel like if I don’t research the subject again than I am blowing him off and his opinion doesn’t matter to me as much as I thought it did.

This is a really weird feeling for me dear reader.

Tell me what you think.
