The Truth

Open-mindedness:

A mind receptive to different opinions and ideas, as in Her open mind could see merit in the new method. This phrase is often put as keep an open mind, as in The judge cautioned the jury to keep an open mind while hearing the evidence. [First half of 1800s] 1-having or showing a mind receptive to new ideas or arguments. 2-unprejudiced; unbigoted; impartial.

Sometimes we tend to commit the same mistakes, as our fellow humans have in the past, when we try and fight for our personal causes; the same mistakes that we condemn when we see others performing them, especially on the more visible aspect, such as politicians, presidents, governments or systems.

If you, as a rational human being, believe that violence, suppression and murder are all wrong, and that personal human rights + equality for each human is necessary,

1-Why would you violate the basic form of human rights by forcing your ideas on others? (And by force I mean using power (i.e., physical or mental) to achieve such a result)

2-Why would you violate their freedom of expression by locking the doors to suppress them from expressing?

3-If you are a history nerd or got some sort of knowledge about history, you'll know for a fact that force was never a welcomed method by the victim!! Force, even if you strongly feel that its use is important at a one stage to spread consciousness you think is correct or right, will always lead to violence, therefore, murder and deaths will increase as the next stage after violence is being practiced.

Put it this way, as children, when our parents were strict with us regarding an issue, and forced us to act in a specific way, we had to rebel at least once! As teenagers, the same situation or probably even worse! How about as adults? When we start becoming independent and own independent state of minds, when we start supporting ourselves, start making our own decisions, start choosing the choices that suit us…etc. At that point would you like to be forced into believing, thinking or acting in a certain way that someone, a group or a system think is the "Truth"? If your answer is a Yes then I would like to inform you that you are one of the people who simply don't care about humanity as long as you are receiving power, wealth and your self-interests are being processed. If No, then what the Fuck do you think you're doing? Please, re-evaluate your ideas, way of thinking and open up your mind to differences and to more realistic, inhuman alternatives in positively changing people's minds.

Finally, believing that there is one truth and nothing but that truth means a) your mind isn't capable of questioning b) your mind doesn't have the capacity to absorb new ideas or thoughts c) your mind will have a hard time developing because it will collide with the life cycle of evolution!!
