I do not understand: but I want to

We live in a new world. Every word you whisper, every glance you take, or every emotion you feel is going to be scrutinized by the masses.

Teenagers, media influencers, children, politicians have hold over us like we have strings being pulled out of our spine. Controlling our beliefs, values, and way of living. I remember growing up and I could not wait to live. I could not wait to see the world, to read, to study values, to learn psychology, to dance, to breathe. Now we tread on thin ice. Where are the people who value conversation? Where are the ones who have morals? They do exist but you don't see them in the limelight, they fade to black while the idiocracy shines through. As a people we want equality, we want love, we want happiness, we want understanding. I want this too.

Whilst it seems that we lost track of fighting for the inch; we now crave the mile. It is first understanding that there will never be full understanding. Typical. To acknowledge, to recognize, to be at peace with the fact that we just have to create conversation. We need to come together in an effort to agree to disagree! Can we please discuss topics again, discovering the faults and altering our perceptions. Our children will grow to fear failure. The fear of being “canceled” is real. One's outlooks are dissected to become rejected. We choose to overlook the cause. Why are we disregarding the lessons needed to be taught?  Why are we not educating our children truthfully? We live in a world where opinions are demonized. Almost anybody you speak to now sounds scripted. We fought for our freedom so hard it ran away from us. Now we all must sit up right. Recite the headlines. Vote. Agree when you do not. Disagree when you agree. Nod and wave. We are AI. We are the new generation. Let us break the cycle by opening up these delicate conversations again. We are humans with the capacity to think our actions into play. We are allowing society to dumb us down. We can not allow all of our past progress and growth to be diminished. We must fight again, seriously this time. Let us take control,  agree to disagree with me.

 

In my first blog series titled “I do not understand” we will think and we will question. Without judgment we will try to understand all we do not understand; yes that is okay.
