Free Thought

Free Thought

For some, being alone can be a terrifying thought, memories, regrets, trauma and irreconcilable issues can haunt the innermost recesses of a person's mind. Yet sometimes the path to being alone and individuality can be an awakening revelation and a welcome peace where you can become content and complete in your spirit. 

Life can offer a myriad of escape routes away from individual thinking, but it would only prolong the inevitable conclusion to a path we all must ultimately travel when the choice is made. These escape routes that are used can very often lead those who choose them to a false sense of being in control of their lives. The most common is a dire need or desire to be accepted and belonging to something outside one's self.

A click if you will, a gang, a political party, a sorority, etc. These are examples of a collection of people that form a group where the common bond is acceptability because all minds are in unison with a common goal. This is not to say this is a bad thing unless the group's motives have immoral ideas and goals. Yet any organization or group is only as influential as the concept of its members. 

For example, if everyone in a particular group thought the same without differing opinions or judgement what would happen to someone who opposes this group?

If this group's members continues to grow larger without the opposition of those who disagree or think differently it will become a majority and the opposition becomes the minority good or bad and perhaps eventually non-existent.

It is for this reason why it is so important to think independently for yourself first. In order to do that, you have to be completely comfortable with being different from anyone else as an individual.

Some of the most powerful changes in history has come from those people that would not accept the ideals and philosophies that ruled the majority and they dared to oppose the status quo.

Opposition, individuality and free thought is necessary to keep those who lack the ability to understand that division only creates a weaker majority rule.

The path to least resistance is always the easiest,shortest and the most traveled. The path to believing and doing what is right takes courage, wisdom and a righteous heart.

So "think" differently.....
