Our beliefs.
Based on experience?
Based on information?
Based on gut feelings?
Our beliefs.
Influenced every day by media and social commentary.
Not a single person anymore, seems to have their own opinion.
It may differ from what you, I, he, she says-
But is it theirs?
Somewhere in every country is a small group of people.
They take their opinions on world events and everyday happenings.
They put them into print,
Onto television,
Across the radio waves.
Millions of people listen.
Out of those there are three types.
The uninterested.
The believers.
And the unbelievers.
Out of the believers, they take what is fed to them and swallow it whole.
The unbelievers feel a need to rebel against what has been said.
There has to be another way.
The believers listen and read to "mainstream"
The unbelievers listen and read the "underground".
Our beliefs what are they based on?
Could they be based on things we haven't experienced for ourselves?

I enjoyed this 'rant' Adam. There are no rights or wrongs here, just opinions. Although I think the best way to be is sceptical. When sceptical, you at least have the ability to listen and ruminate over the opinions on all sides.

I liked this very much because I think
the media thinks that they speak for
everyone and their point of view
is the only one that counts. Now
I'm ranting! Great writing! |
