Ever since i was a child, i was raised to not let people take my right to speak my mind away from me. My father told me that people will try, and he was right. People do try to twist my words and intentions by changing the meaning behind words or by interpreting words in a completely different way, and some people claim that this has something to do with "We are all different", i am not so sure about that. Are you?
The difference in how people are raised by their parents, and the environment around them must have some impact on how we think as we grow up, and in many schools nowadays kids dont learn "How to think" anymore, but rather "What to think" and i think this is very alarming.
I notice a phenomenon in many discussion i have on "sensitive topics" (define sensitive?) which of whom i dont find sensitive at all, but i ask myself "Why?" do other people find topics sensitive, offensive or insulting. It bothers me a lot, when you are trying for example to have a conversation about immigration, in a complete general way, and in a general way i mean i am not pointing fingers anywhere but simply asking the question "Why are we immigrating people en masse?" or questions like "How will mass immigration impact our society and communities?" or "What effect will mass immigration how on job oppurtunities and wages for people with low education?"
Instantaneously some people disregard my simply questions as "Racism" without even considering if those questions carry any weight of importance to the country we live in, just because i say the word "immigration", it is like it "Triggers" people for some reason.
People tend to not want to have discussion with me, because they find it uncomfortable that i am always asking those questions, and going deeper with nearly any subject that comes up, specially political or psycological subjects. I think its healthy to be critical in mind, and skeptical at thought. To always ask myself and question my own thoughts "Does this hold up to scrutiny?" "Can this work?" amongst many other things.
Many times i dont know how to express what i think, and how to articualte my thoughts in the right way. I know exactly what it is i want to accomplish when i am thinking about it, but i just cant find the right words to describe it many times, everything is a mess in my head many times and sometimes its just too much and too many things at once.
Oh well, that is the reason why i started this blog. Because i need to practise in how to express my thoughts, because people have told me that i should write and that they think i have many good things to say that may help impact other peoples lives in a positive way, even thought myself i only think i stir shit up and piss people off, but hey i guess thats a part of life, since i am an advocate for free speech i will never limit myself to what i can think, say or express because if we limit ourselves we will limit progression as a whole. Religion is one of those things that limits the human brain, and i would like to talk about that in the future.
