Anything can be questioned. How dare you criticize. My question to you is: why not?
Those things you believe in, those values you carry so firmly and so close to you, those opinions you promote: those things my friend aren't always as sanctioned as you make them out to be.
My beliefs, my values, my “truth”–all that I carry to define meaning of my place in life–mock them, question them, discredit them, I challenge you to. In all truth, I only know as much as you do, and quite frankly, none of us truly know what we're doing.
This reality isn't as we make it out to be.
Nothing truly is sacred.
You question me. Yes I am flawed, but so are you. To pose questions towards what makes me, molds me, curates me, defines me, there’s a deeper meaning in doing so. You see, when all is questioned, when individuals are questioned, when society is questioned, progress proceeds, growth proceeds.
The walls that define us. Divide us. Dictate us. Those walls begin to break and come down.
Without those walls around us, unity flows beyond the shattered ruin.
Everything should be questioned, respectfully.
We as one unity shouldn’t shy away from challenging what is said to be so sacred. You say it's sacred, but yet the other will say otherwise–what’s the real truth behind that? The fact that what you believe an other might disbelieve leaves room for questioning naturally. There will always be opposition to anything.
So what in fact is sacred?
Build walls, to have them broken. Or live for not building them at all.
We are all individuals seeking truth to define our reality, but maybe reality is as simple as just accepting all that is in the most natural sense. Seeing me as equal as you, and me doing the same for you. Knowing that my beliefs are no more sacred than yours. Allowing your ideas, values, beliefs to be seen through and understood, and doing the same for the other. We can’t expect others to change completely to correspond to who we are and how we see life, but maybe, just maybe we can accept more and understand that we aren’t as divided as we make ourselves to be.
We question, challenge to help promote the idea that these things don’t always define us. That yes, although this life is an individual pursuit come down to it, we weren’t meant to be so individualized against the mass of others that are on this same life pursuit: to find meaning for this experience.
My friend, the pursuit of life is to connect, unify, shatter what divides us, challenge the truth that is fed to us, question everything around us, be curious about the experience that is in front of us, and work together as one for the betterness of existence.
Nothing is sacred. Yet, everything is sacred.
Let that resonate with the truth that has always been within.
