And for God’s sake, learn to like what you like.
I’ve been saying this all along, everybody wants you to like what you like and they seem very surprised when you disagree with them.
There’s no doubt, the last couple of generations have become enormously entitled. Largely because we’ve lived in such abundant and relatively peaceful times.
It’s the tough times make hard men, hard men make easier times and easier times make weak men lark. I think it’s safe to say we’re in the latter of those three.
That’s why more courage is needed.
Past generations feared mortar shells, current generations fear hurty words on the internet.
Here’s an idea to get started with. Like what you like, stop being swayed. Everybody thinks they have the answers to what’s ‘good’ and what’s ‘bad’.
Everyone needs their answer(s) to be right because it’s their stability and security at stake. Desperately trying to make sense of the world, they cling. Cling as hard as a limpet to the rock.
Immovable
Rigid
Shunning everything out of their worldview.
Honestly, is that how you want to live? I certainly don’t.
My life has gotten better the more I’ve decided things for myself. Rules are not designed to keep you safe, they are designed to keep you compliant and they’re written by psychopaths for the most part.
Just give things a go, be kind to people as much as you can (and reasonable) and the rest, well my friend, let it go.
