It is Impossible to Live a Genuine Life or Have Genuine Opinions without Offending Someone Else

Or in other words:

If your opinion offends others, you’re probably doing something right.

Why are we so scared?

Why are we so afraid of sharing our opinion? My thought— it comes down to Christian morality. To offend someone else or to “hurt” others is seen as morally evil. Thus the only way to live a “good” life is to say nothing at all, and do nothing at all.

Why has morality hijacked us?

Also, our profoundly soft and mediocre society is training us to become more meek, average, quiet, and herd-like. We are all taught:

To become a sheep is virtuous. Become more sheep-like!

So what should we do about this?

  1. Refuse to be censored or silenced. Speak your mind with deep courage.
  2. Share your opinion. Your opinion is valuable.
