Everyone has an orthodoxy.
Everybody has their own delusion.
Everybody has their own dissonance.
Reality can be hard to deal with!
Do you like to believe you are the arbiter of truth? That you say the real deal? I certainly do. We all do. Wouldn’t it be so much simpler if everyone just agreed with you?
Unfortunately, that makes you a tyrant!
The other day, someone responded to a YouTube comment I left eons ago about the Brexit Debate. I said to him that I knew I done the right thing by voting in favour of leaving the EU. I believe I’m right, you may believe that to be wildly abhorrent!
To break the spell of ‘the current narrative’, you have to first accept you believe what you believe. Accept it for the time being. I am a big questioner and skeptic but you’re living in delusion if you deny what you believe. You have good reasons for believing what you believe, because of your background, your circumstances.
There is no one on the planet who holds to their beliefs randomly. I’ve never believed in coincidence. We live in cause and effect.
Stop wasting time trying to get people to believe different things. Most are not capable of it. You need to have intelligence for that and there are many stupid people. Agree or disagree with me, that’s your business.
You have to live your life inside out. Start focusing on getting stronger, more resilient and, most importantly, not giving a fuck about what others think of you or what they believe.
Simples!
