The Absolute About Absolutes

For the most part, the current and the upcoming generations believe that the are no absolutes. Ok, so maybe they do believe that 2+2 always equals 4, but when it comes to the everyday things that we encounter...anyone can be right. I believe that I will ruffle some feathers with this post. I ask that you join me on this topic, and give any feedback that you want. 

What is truth? According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, truth is defined as: the real facts about something. In today's society, there is this growing belief that no one is incorrect. They just have a different opinion. The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines opinion as follows: a belief, judgment, or way of thinking about something : not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

While I think that having opinions is a good thing, I do not think that we need to be encouraging the idea that everyone is right. We are so worried that we are going to offend someone if we tell them no, or disagree. What is wrong with that?

People wonder why our society is not progressing. Well I believe that this issue is the root cause!

It is time to wake up people. You might not be right about everything. I know that I am not right about everything. It is ok to disagree with each other, but that disagreement should lead to resolution, not confusion.

It is time to step up, be confident in yourself, and address the world. You will receive opposition, but in the end it is going to be worth it. There are absolutes, and they are absolutely true about you. If you don't think there are absolutes, are you absolutely sure about that?

In the end: respect each other, be open-minded about things, seek the absolutes, and journey forward in a way that creates organization and not chaos.
