Every person – regardless of his/her physical attributes, mental capacities, socioeconomic status, or religious principles – is entitled to his/her opinion. What do I have to say about this? What is my reaction on this? What do I think about this? There is a universe of questions that we have concerning our stand regarding something.
I want this to be my first post primarily because this is why I created this blog – because I want to express my point-of-view on the things around me. I want this blog to serve as an outlet for me to express what I cannot by oral means.
Our world is a discriminating one. Some individuals tend to think that their beliefs are superior over others’ and that their stand concerning a particular issue/topic is what the people around them should also adhere to.
No two people are exactly the same. This is a universal truth. Given that we have different circumstances in life and that we are exposed to different environments as well, there will be always something unique about us, something that sets us apart. Something that identifies our set of principles as ours and not anybody else’s.
All men are created equal in the eyes of God. We all have the free will and the right to freedom of expressing ourself. However, every right comes with a responsibility. No matter how much our opinion matters to us and no matter how much we want others to believe in them too, we must learn to respect the principles our fellow men, who are human beings like us, live by.
Respecting other’s opinions, on the contrary, does not mean having to believe in them as well. All we have to do is understand that we are all entitled to our opinion but it is up to us whether or not to conform to these principles in our day-to-day living.
