Think Freely

Many people are set in there ways. Music is, of course, the first example I think of. Most "popular" musicians write the same kind of song because that's what sells. When people go outside of the so-called safety zone, they are much less successful. They are almost shunned for their differentiations from the norm. This is detrimental to the music world because what is popular is not necessarily what is best.

I see an example of this in the religious world. These are just my ideas, and I do not intend to offend anyone with them. Nowadays, everyone either has no religion, or goes to a church, synagogue, or mosque. However, preset organized religion may not be the best for society. Organized religion, I believe is counterproductive to religion's goal. The goal of religion, as I see it, is to teach people to respect their fellow human beings and to overall teach people to do things not just for their own benefit. Organized religion, however is essentially an ultimatum. If you don't abide by every rule listed in the Bible, the Torah, or the Qu'ran or elsewhere, you will have negative consequences. This is fear based, and doesn't have people doing the right thing for the right reason. Therefore, different ideas could be beneficial, and should not be shunned.

Overall, I'm saying that the present situations should be examined and new ideas should be introduced. Rules have their benfits, as I've said, but new rules need to be introduced as well.Even in music, where there are tons and tons of rules, you have to bring new ideas and rules in. That is the way that music has evolved so much. So examine your world, and see how you can better it with free thinking.
