What If You Saw It Their Way?

If you wonder too much

You start to doubt what you hear.

Before it was families, work, local clicks, and social groups

That kept similar opinions and traditions

Now it's computer algarythems

Which track the groups and conversations we have.

It starts in our heads and then we seek evidence

That our thoughts are valid.

They are true based on who resonates with them.

Are facts and science the key elements to news or a belief anymore?

Yet, how different is technology at curating our conversations

Then the 'good 'ole days'?

Technology is just more systematic

And goes through cycles of social connections faster.

Are you a middle-of-the-road person that recognizes many points of view?

Or are you in some topics fixated on one story, sound bite, or mission

Based on your desire to make something happen?

I'm not saying that I'm wishy-washy...

Just that I'm inquisitive, an investigator interested in the bigger picture.

Pick any topic at the dinner table or social media and ask yourself:

What do I believe?

What do I want to believe?

If I think differently then I do know how will it affect my life?

Can I afford some kindness to someone who believes very differently?

What could I learn if I kept an open mind or thought the opposite?

Heck this open-mindedness could just save a life

Or help you make a special friend.
