Listen if you like my stuff, great. Thanks.
If you don't like it, that's cool. I understand.
I don't expect a lot of people to truly empathize with me.
That's the problem with this planet.
All I ask of you is Objectivity. Flexibility. Openness.
Can you be open?
Are you entirely inflexible?
How adamantly fixed are you in your points of view?
Most minds are fixed like the stars.
They hover around their fixed false facts.
But their opinions are exactly that -- opinions.
And they cannot be proven or unproven.
They are not "so."
And who is any one person to tell another that they hold the wrong opinion anyway?
I've heard your goddamn opinions, They are different than mine.
Open your mind to another point of view.
Shut the fuck up and listen for once in your fucking life.
If for nothing else than to experience a new sensation.
That of another truth.
Mine.
As valid as yours.
There is no greater mistake than to believe you are correct
about anything. All is opinion.
To deny yourself relevant knowledge or information on any issue,
regardless of point of view, is to subjugate yourself to a conformist
naïve notion of "ignorance is bliss". An idiot is blameless, having no
choice but stupidity. He has a right to assume others' opinions.
Decide issues for yourself! Are you an idiot? Do you self-impose
ignorance? Learn from everything and everyone! Else you join the
idiot in value by intentionally choosing not to know.
Only a fool does not question.
Even a child asks "Why?". Do you?
To doubt is to be independently human.
Expand your mind!
Touch my reality!
Can you?
Open up!!
