Who cares what I think?
Who knows the intricacies of my mind and wonders if what I’m thinking is right?
Who inspects the recesses, where I bury painful truths?
Who walks through my mind looking for significant protrusions?
Who searches for the hypocrisies that hide in my beliefs?
Who incessantly, obsessively learns new things for the sake of becoming more than I was yesterday?
Who stands beside me to see what I see, hear what I hear, and do what I do?
Do you stand beside me to see what I see, hear what I hear, and do what I do?
Do you incessantly, obsessively learn new things for the sake of becoming more than you were yesterday?
Do you search for the hypocrisies that hide in your beliefs?
Do you walk through your mind looking for significant protrusions?
Do you inspect the recesses, where you bury painful truths?
Do you know the intricacies of your mind and wonder if what you’re thinking is right?
Do you care what you think?
What do you value more than anything else? Compassion? Security? Yourself? Others? Family? Strangers? Education? Comfort? Teaching? Art? Function? Money? Altruism?
What defines our lives are the root priorities we live by. We will each see any topic differently based on those priorities, and they bias our opinions of those topics. Don’t attack those who have an opinion that contrasts your own. They simply, and literally, think differently than you do.
Be radical, be influential: LEARN from them instead.
