Dangerous Ideas
9 years ago
General
The only dangerous ideas are ones that cant tolerate the existence of others.
Why? 'Are you daring to question our Idea?'
If you can't accept that other people may have differing opinions and ideas and YOU cant live with that. You are the problem.
You can usually pick these people out pretty fast these days. Its not relegated to one side either.
Fascism, plain and simple. Yes I hear some of you say 'Not all ideas are good.' but if you wont permit them to exist how can you tell?
Ever made a recipe with one ingredient? I bet it was rather dull in flavor.
"Variety is the spice of life."
Here is some cold truth for you. Someone is smarter than you. Someone is better looking than you. Someone is more skilled than you. Someone gets paid more than you. But that's alright. In fact that's a good thing. What happens in a city full of cooks but no farmers to make the food? What happens to a movie when everyone is the star? How about if everyone was a Taxi driver? Do you really want a world where everyone's favorite color is green, everyone loves clams, nobody likes painting and they all have the same opinion and produce the exact same thing? Everyone Looks the same, everyone plays sports at the same level of skill, everyone wears the same size shoe and same clothes. Everyone is the same person. Does that appeal to you?
How about a world where one person has serious parent issues but plays amazing basketball? How about someone who is a criminal but gives the cops a reason to exist? How about someone who loses an arm and struggles with the loss but makes the best pastries the world? How about a average person who likes to fix cars? how about the guy who likes to do art but doesn't know how to fix a car? How about a Cake with more than just flour an milk in it? Differences are not a problem, Unless that person has a problem with other peoples differences existing.
This sameness of mind out there is greatly concerning to me. Someone had to rock the boat first. Skydiving, there is no logical reason for doing it and its dangerous but some people Love doing it. Some people find turnips to be tasty. Someone had to try something first, something weird or controversial. Turning bike parts into a small plane. Mixing some paprika into muffins. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. But none of it would happen if people prevented others from having their differences.
I hope Ive given you something to think about. Maybe even change your mind. Maybe not. This could just all be a weird idea I had.

OP
People who look for any perceived racism will find it. Some might call that a Racist. Those who look for intolerance in similar ways will also find it. But its a double edged sword. There is a saying. "When you look into the abyss it looks back. And those who hunt monsters should make sure they do not become monsters." I believe it was Niche.
