Rewiring

I have encountered, read and learnt a lot of things these past few weeks. Things that I agree, things that I never knew about and also things that clashed with my personal beliefs. I've come to realize that in our daily lives, we are most of the time presented by the opportunity to learn. To learn about our surroundings and most importantly, to learn about who and what we really are.

I have been confronted with a lot of differing views and I feel like I've learnt to accept the fact that not everyone thinks the same way as you do. You know, millennials and their young blood - they always wanna seem right because they think they are always right. It's true, been there done that and it's really sad.

I think our youth now just like fighting for something, you know? It's good, it really is. I respect such dedication because these guys are our future. But hold on a second. I just don't think it's okay to defend something that is blatantly wrong. It seems like youngsters are all racing to be on the liberal side of things - whether when it comes to fashion, relationships and everything in between. Most of the times, their one true enemy is religion. Religion always gets the blame in the end.

I know this is such a sensitive thing to talk about. But I feel super sad if I may be truthfully honest. I have a few people that I used to look up to; sacrifice their faith just for the sake of being liberal. Being part of the 'fighting crowd'. Fighting to legalize or right things that are already clearly... not right.

Super sad, ain't it? But I think it all depends on how you receive and perceive such thing. I've learnt a lot about respecting people's beliefs as I meet all these different people throughout my years of learning. But respecting their beliefs doesn't mean you have to agree or approve of it. That's what I've been trying really hard to remember every time I'm presented with people with different opinions than me. It's a struggle, of course but it also allows you to learn more. I wish I could explain but I feel like I'm still at my beginner's level when it comes to this.

I'll write more soon, I promise. Let's just first start the countdown to my upcoming holidays! Bye.
