Change The World
In order to create change, we must have criticism. It may be good or bad, but I personally would rather put up with the bad in order to have a chance at attaining the good. The process of sharing opinions is a very productive one, it is the process that has shaped and molded us into who we are today. As an individual you may choose to share opinions on certain issues while keeping silent on others, and you may choose to listen and absorb these ideas or disregard them. This is healthy. Yet in an opinion, you must be a demonstration of it, unless the scale is much too large and therefore unreachable. When your opinion becomes only that the other opinion is wrong, regardless of your way of being, you enter judgment. Judgment is created by fear and this fear is created by non-existent beliefs and passions. I cannot think of anything else more frustrating than not having something to be passionate about. There are no rules, that's the beauty of it, yet some people are too afraid to believe in something. When you believe, you become vulnerable to other people in that belief. With this frustration rising, their beliefs become that everyone else's are wrong. This is the very thread that is unraveling our sweater. We require just the opposite, we need support, we need love and we need to gain back the imagination we had when we were young. When someone tells me something they are passionate about or something they truly believe in, I know this makes them happy, and that's what we need...happy people! So why not give them support! Everyone has different ideas on what is passionate, successful or productive, we need to be reminded of that. We are all still little kids, we want the magic to be there, everyone does, so why don't we work together to create it.
