The Human Idol

in Inner Blocks3 years ago (edited)

In a modern world acceptance is the magic word. A word that is used to make everyone feel included and part of the bigger picture. To feel like everyone is on the same page all the time. To not show differences of opinions.

There is a mighty loss in this world. There is a void where their used to be discussion. There is an emptiness where there used to be a creative and informative conversation.

Mouths are closed due to concern of negative reaction, or not being accepted because of their not accepting. A paradox of nonsense that seems to be a wide spreading theme.

Is it better that no man live as an individual, but we all live connected both in body and mind. Are our thoughts not free to expand our very understanding of the idea of understanding.

Is it better to erase what may stand out or be different. Is it ironic that what is different is being pushed as normal, but an opposing view that is different is not recognized as being good different but bad different because it counters the narrative.

A grey cover to mute the shine or promise and hope. To not draw outside of the set lines, even when you don't see them. To have your path laid before you left, when you wanted to go right.

Losing description for fear of exclusion. A blending of the spectrum, and a remolding of the model. Through the crucible of life the heat gets hotter. The indifference melts until everything looks the same.

To forget who we are or how we were originally cast. To lose the light of the soul in exchange for the lights of a camera. To accept what shouldn't be, for fear of being left out of the new mold. Disfigured compared to the new model.

The new different on a sea of the same. A blind and shapeless mass that moves in unison. To devour the different and bind the individual. To build for itself an alter for it's god.

When you can no longer see. No longer speak. No longer move. No longer think. That is when you will look to their god. Forgetting where you came from and all that you are. You will crawl to the alter that was built for you to worship, to worship yourself....

I am a human with my own beliefs is something bigger than myself. I believe in my God, and believe that He is the creator of all things. I believe Jesus Christ died so that I might live. To live in God's grace and mercy.

I believe in free speech and the ability to dialogue with others, even if I disagree with their opinions and they disagree with mine. I am able to love others even when they don't love me.

I believe we are giving up our ability to live as individuals. We are giving up our ability to think and believe freely. I believe there is a common movement that is pushing to mute others that disagree with the main narrative.

I believe that there is a delusional few that are forcing their view on an awakened many. It is through our continued self censoring of our thoughts and words that we will eventually fade into an unrecognizable version of everyone else. We are individuals, wonderfully made.

We are all individuals. We need to be individuals. We need to not conform, but expand our thoughts. We need to love others that have there own truths.

Peace comes through love. Loving others right where they are. Love wins. Always.

Be well

I believe in equality, the world believes in power, influence and pocket, that's why there's injustice and suffering.

Equality as in equal opportunity or equal outcome? I believe in equal opportunity. I agree that it is the raw human condition that invites suffering.

Equal opportunity That's what I mean. Everybody deserves a chance to stand out and it's ok to be different.
