Fools rush in where personal experience has never bothered to tread. ~unknown~
In my life I have noticed a strange phenomenon. People seem to have set opinions about everything ranging from breakfast being the most important meal of the day to the the one true religion of the world. It’s not JUST an opinion to them though, it’s a sense of knowing the “real” truth on any subject at any time. If there is a challenge to their belief, all Hell could break loose. Why be so sure about anything though? Wasn’t there a time where such assuredness would be considered dishonorable?
A change in perspective and opinion can be exhilarating. In what other way can we be sure that our minds will continue to grow? If we all believe and accept the first thing we are taught, we would become a stagnant species, wouldn’t we? With that said, please feel free to share your perspective and opinions here. All I ask is that you try to be courteous.
Over the next year I want to share my perspective on many different parts of what it means to be human and how we could improve upon the experience. Why would my perspective be of any use or importance you may ask? It’s not necessarily useful or important at all, is my answer. Then again, it might just help one other human being and that’s important to me. Or, who knows, maybe 100 years from now a child will use my ramblings to write a paper about the unstable mind of those who lived a hundred years ago.
I do believe that some of the experiences I have had could help others. Whether through a basic feeling of connectedness or by doing the opposite of what I did to save themselves the pain.
Besides helping others, I am writting to help myself. I have no family or friends to speak of but I have a universe of thoughts to share. It can get pretty overwhelming at times and I see this blog as a way of inventing my own family, even if I am only ever talking to myself. So, nothing different than usual but at least I can focus my mind for a few moments every day.
Content warning! I will be sharing life experiences that are not pleasant. Also, my perspective is not typically uplifting or optimistic at first glance (or second or third) but my intention is always positive growth.
One last thing… If you are a Grammar Nazi, I apologize ahead of time and thank you for reading through my attempts at being grammatically correct. I am but a HSED graduate with no further schooling. Low on the chain of dominating cultural figures, I know, but I have things to say regardless of how poorly they are articulated. Most popular books and articles circulating around the world are written by college graduates but are read by people with little education. Is it any wonder why we all feel so confused. That is the beauty of blogs isn’t it? Anyone can write one and anyone can read one. I have found it to be useful to learn from people at every level of society. I hope you can keep that in mind as well.
That’s all for today. Here’s hoping for a better tomorrow.
