Writing With Reason

Breaking the Chain

We live on thoughts formed by our demographics. School, family, religion, and regional politics form the very theories and judgments we own. A thought only becomes 'ours' when we choose to break away from the system. Whether right or wrong, this way or that way, one team over another... We live in blindness until we venture on our own. Religion is preached and acted upon from an early age, what's cool or popular is evident in the groups in school, political views cloud the media, education, and society based solely on the beliefs of those elected into those hypocritical positions. The brave are those who educate their minds with literature, history, and other forms of knowledge and in doing so.. Form their own beliefs of right and wrong, good and bad, cool or lame. However, society looks down upon those who choose to lead rather than follow the system. It encourages kids to get an education but limits the opportunities available to them. Society abides, according to its definition, to the declaration of Independence. Which declares the freedom of religion, to believe and worship however one so wishes.... Then it discriminates. It mocks those who choose Jesus. It tip toes around those who insist god doesn't belong in our pledge of allegiance. You see we as a people are more prone to judge than to serve. We are quick to point fingers at the problem but never lend a hand for the solution. Only those who truly think for themselves, the free, will ever understand the hurting heart of the oppressed, the self promoted lies of politics, and the disguised limits that are placed upon all of us. And in understanding, only they will have the real answers. The unbiased. For it may be the power and recognition hungry political figures that rule over the land, but it is those brave, wise, the ones who think on their own, that lead the people.
