Let's not be told how to think by other people's opinions. Because we've seen how this quest for a stance, driven by the need for conformity and solidarity, unguided by independent reasoning, fail spectacularly in the face of intellectual challenge. So seek to feel, and sense with all autonomy, issues worth of our attention. Be unafraid of criticisms of people who wish to disagree, for differences are never grounds for naming and shaming, for those whose opinions do matter. All prevailing ideas that remain to this day are the result of original thinking and thoroughly informed choices, and they seldom go unchallenged by simpler, yet more popular and convenient lines of thinking.
Long-winded. In other words, have control over the entity God has granted you. Because we know the hazards of blind conformity from history. I have been a victim of this form of laziness. (Still am, maybe).
