What if…

…we kept our lives more secretive? What if we told no one about our political beliefs? What if we told no one about our religious beliefs? What if we told no one our income? What if we told no one about our eating habits? What if we told no one about our sexual preferences? What if we told no one about how much our homes were worth? What if we told no one who our friends were? What if….we just lived our lives as we each wanted to? Why do we feel compelled to change people to match what we value? It does not lessen their own value and what they believe in.

I believe we tell others about these things because we are unsure if they are the “right” choice for us. Some people do not seem concerned that others have different beliefs and values but they will keep plugging away to get you to believe what they themselves believe. And….I think that people try to change others to make themselves feel better about the choices they have made or are making. In my mind, there are no “right” choices, only choices that are “right” for you. You may even change your mind about something you used to believe in and, I feel, that is a good thing. You are gaining knowledge from your choices and this allows you to keep or walk away from those that no longer serve a purpose for you.

If God gave us free will, then why do we need other people to agree with our choices? Why do we need a “majority” to make choices for us? Personally, I don’t want that. I want to make my own choices that are right for ME. I was given sovereignty from God and people around me are always trying to take it away. Let us be. You go do YOU and I will go do ME and all will be more peaceful in this world.

Peace out Homies…
