Opinions About Opinions

I bring you a really cool article:

As a member of the current generation, I believe it is our duty to eliminate fear as a way to run a company or nation. Fear, a simple, fantastic, easy way to control people. A people run by fear is not a productive way to live. Anger stems from fear, racism stems from fear and to eradicate that, we must pull it by the roots.

So where does fear come from?

It comes from ignorance, misinformation, a lack of insight and fact. What must be realized by all people ages young and old, that simply ‘Not Knowing’ makes it the worst. As we grow up in a society where words like ‘capitalism’ and ‘socialism’ come up. Words like ‘economy’ and ‘business’ and ‘deficit’ and ‘money’ and ‘war.’ We label people as ‘Democrats’ and ‘Republicans’, not to mention ‘Conservative’ and ‘Liberal’ and ‘Conservative Libertarians’.  If while reading any of these you ask yourself, “What does this mean?”, should it scare you?

Should it? Read the rest here

I wish I could but I don't have the time to revive it. It's a huge commitment and I have a lot of school work and obligations.

And yes, in some ways that's how I appear. An ideal world is ideal, but that's not the way it is. I find a good mix of realism and idealism to be very inspiring, and I'll try to incorporate a bigger sense of realism into my writing as well.
