Everyday I tune into CNN, Fox News (the worse) & a host of others to see shows where a group of talking head, individuals that get along very well, will yell, scream & argue with one another like it is a death match of enemies. The truly unfortunate part is that most highly opinionated people I speak with on the regular basis are not receiving their information directly from these shows but rather from another person who has spoken with another person.
Now we all share thoughts in one way or another. You have sciences such as mathematics, physics and anatomy which are universal throughout the world. You have religion and psychology which a million books have been written about both and seem to be two of the most popular degree bases for institutions of higher learning. Opinions are personal but unfortunately everyone is sharing the same brain when it comes to forming their opinions.
I have an example I would like to share. There was a time when white Americans believed that Native and Black Americans were genetically inferior. We were labeled as savages and cannibals. It was not just a thought but absurd opinions that were spread as fact. Native Americans and Blacks suffered through great injustice because of what a certain few thought. Today we now have a better understanding. People have grown and now understand that ethnic make up does not determine your mental or physical capability. Unfortunately, we have found new reasons to all share the same opinions.
Figure out your own path people. Learn from others but understand that Politics and Religion are multi Hundred-Trillion dollar industries. Every minute of everyday there is a Genius Con Man attempting to Hi-jack your opinion, Conservative and Liberal alike.
