Ignorance

It's the information age. So basically everyone with a pulse has a platform to speak their mind, including me. I respect everybody's opinion, but some of the things that I hear people saying is just ridiculous. At the same time, I understand it. We all have opinions and it's free to voice them. I try not to speak on what others say because I don't want to seem like I know it all. Every once in a while, I pay attention to what others are saying and it's funny. So many opinions are based on nothing at all and there are no facts at all. Preconceived notions are accepted as fact and that's the end of it all. It's been going on for so many years that people have parlayed their opinions into stardom. Most times it all feels like it's for shock value. I honestly can't fathom someone actually believing some of the things that I hear or see everyday. Rush Limbaugh comes to mind. But he's an idiot so he doesn't matter. But that's just my opinion. And I'm entitled to that. Obviously there are people who agree with what he's saying or he wouldn't even exist. We all have to accept that there will always be people saying dumb...well let's just leave it at that. This world is an ugly place. There will always be people around to spread hate and ignorance. We have to weed through all that. It gets hard, but it's doable. I stopped watching BET and I don't really keep up with the news. I'll continue to educate myself and continue to make sure that I take care of my business. Nothing outside of that really matters. That's just my opinion.
