I believe what I believe and you can't change my mind nor I yours.
A platitude is a trite, meaningless, or prosaic statement, generally directed at quelling social, emotional, or cognitive unease. The word derives from plat, French word for "flat." Platitudes are geared towards presenting a shallow, unifying wisdom over a difficult topic. However, they are too overused and general to be anything more than undirected statements with ultimately little meaningful contribution towards a solution. Examples could be statements such as "Meet in the middle", "Everybody has a right to an opinion", "Everything happens for a reason", "It is what it is", "Do what you can", "God works in mysterious ways" and "Nobody's perfect". Platitudes are generally a form of thought-terminating cliché.

Yeah I read where you posted that earlier and meh. What is the point in trying to change your mind? I can't do it because your mind is already made up. Call it a platitude if you wish but it's not worth my time. Oh and btw you aren't going to change mine either.
