Learning to Speak Your Mind in a Lost Society....
Hi, dear Steemians!
Speaking your mind with the current mentality of the human society is basically like throwing a knife on your own foot.
In the vulgarity of our determination that nothing is absolute and subjective concepts should be open to interpretation, there is no single answer for any aspect of the human nature.
A person of intellect might feel lost in a society like this. What would be the point of learning more? What would be the point of arguing?
What would be the point of progress? Because the moment you open your mouth to speak, you are but a lost voice in the whirlwind of entitled but worthless opinions.
You hear this sentence a lot, ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion’ and that ‘we should all respect each other’s opinions’ and while that is a decent and romantic sentiment, it can also be a dangerous path for our cultural progression.
But as Plato once said, ‘Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.’
There is a clear boundary where knowledge and ignorance come into play in the foray of human intelligence.
When expressing your opinions in today’s world, ignorance comes at play with phrases like entitlement and claims that your opinion should be your own and not held as a negotiable fact.
In a community such as this, there are no longer any answers, only better and better self-entitled victims of chance and ignorance.
When you think about an idea and express it, the idea might have a certain novelty to it and thus, buy the aggression of those who hear it first.
When you speak the truth with reasonable logical assessments and imperial evidence to back your claim, there is always going to be a person who simply suggests that your word is merely an opinion and not the truth. These types of people believe that you cannot find truth, because there is no such thing.
But these are the type of people who have never had the courage to seek truth and knowledge beyond their own comprehension of the world.
But you should not allow the voice of madness to dispel your inner voice of reason. One could obviously claim that every statement can be logically assessed and analyzed. You could determine if something is right or wrong.
One thing doesn’t have to be a hundred percent right to be considered a fact of society.
Many cultural aspects and sums of wisdom cannot be scientifically measured in a lab, but they can be assessed by a set of rules that determine their authenticity.
Do not be afraid to speak your mind. Do not be afraid to make your points. Society is always going to shut you down, specially today’s society, hell bent on the idea that everyone should be entitled to their own opinion.
Speaking your mind is one of the first steps that will make sure you are taken much more seriously in the society. Do not fear the negativity.
Just say everything that is on your mind, but make sure that your points are supported by logic and common sense.
After all, freedom of thought comes with the freedom of speech.
A BIG HUG!

expresar o decir todo lo que piensas se puede convertir en una espada de doble filo es muy liberador expresar nuestra opinión pero que hay de esas personas a las que sin querer lastimamos; dicen que las palabras son nuestro maximo poder entonces es mejor saber cuando usarlas

Dear @chbartist
Most of the time those who speak their minds freely are doing so simply because they do not care if their words will hurt others or not. So free-speakers will always tell "the truth". Their truth. Regardless how awful it can be.
Personally I rather when people keep their thoughts for themselfs most of the time. Not being able to "speak their mind" I would consider a blessing. Most of the time.
Yours
Piotr
Great point mate however I feel it is important to challenge the status quo for everybody's benefit.

Dear @steemingmark
Thank you for your previous comment. And Im also sorry for such a late reply. I wonder if you even will read my comment ...
ps.
I NEED YOUR HELP :) Nothing serious really. But I still hope you can spare few minutes of your time :)
I found out about great contest where winning community can receive a year's delegation worth of 20k SP!
I realized that receiving such a delegation could help greatly to grow our community. After all I'm upvoting each valuable comment. On top of that, I'm doing my best to promote quality content published by other authors and again: I like to reward those who engage with those authors.
I know that it's probably a long shot and most likely our community won't stand a chance in this contest. But I love being the underdog! Let's give them a fair fight :)
Which brings me to my next question, I was wondering if I could count on your support? At this stage I would only need to ask you to comment this post and suggest myself for the contest. Perhaps you could also make another suggestion: @ help.venezuela (this is run by my dear friend @ achim03).
https://steemit.com/dpoll/@theycallmedan/20k-steem-delegation-poll
This is just a first round attempt. I hope we can make it to second round hahha :) Naturally I would appreciate if you could ask your friends to help with our little "quest" :)
Let me know what you think? Perhaps you can also share some advises and hopefully we can "do little bit of brainstorming". Would be awesome to win :)
Yours
Piotr

Excellent review and motivation @chbartist, only by expressing our opinion we will be able to understand ourselves and establish ourselves as a person. You are right, even if people do not understand us, we need to put forward our thoughts and opinions to them, only this way you can find solutions to many problems on our way and realize our dreams!
Very good point.
I'd say this is precisely the time to study more, to learn more, to cultivate our intellects more.
It is precisely in times of obscurantism, when lots of people think their opinion, wrong or misinformed as it may be, is as valid as a solidly backed up one, when the sober minds have to speak up and provide spaces for open and civilized discussions about the pressing issues of our time.
Every time a supporter of the chavista government, for instance, tells me that supporting this government is an opinion and therefore should be validated and respected, I ask them, would you support and validate the opinion of someone who thinks that it is ok to beat women, or rape children?
Because those are also opinions.
Some people opine that gays should be eliminated from the face of earth, that blacks or other minorities are inferior and therefore should be subjected by other races; there are people who opine that the oppression of certain regimes is bad, but that of others is good (good empires vs. bad empires).
Some opinions are just wrong; they defend immorality and injustice and therefore should be combated and proved wrong with solid evidence and arguments.
Many injustices keep being commited because way too many people remain silent about them; because they are afraid to speak up, becasue they feel they have better things to do and every one should be concerned only about thir particular issues, or because they think their voices will not be heard.
These times we are living are no times for conformism. That always precedes great injustices.
Oh yes @chbartist, a very correct judgment and I fully agree with you that we all need to express our opinions to others, even if this society does not understand us and condemns us. If you withdraw into yourself you can lose the sharpness of thought and through statements we will move forward towards our goal!
Great advice. I personally feel that it takes a lot of courage to put your ideas out there as they are often criticized, judged and argued. But I also think that that is part of the process. If one makes outlandish or controversial or highly opinionated claims then they are sure to recieve backlash and often rightfully so. people should be aware of that. Using ones voice takes courage and I believe that this is especially the case when standing up for others or offering dissenting views or questioning the status quo. But again, we need to be prepared to argue our point :)

There isn't enough courage to speak openly in the world the today, that's a big part of the problem..
I behooves us all to get out there, and speak!
You might be right about that

I think everyone should be given chance to speak their views. Its everyone's right to speak but I understand that it's not that much easy. It takes a lot to speak self opinion but that is the only way to express ourself.
Thanks @chbartist for nice post

While I disagree with some of your perspectives, some things I wholeheartedly agree on, and is in sync with my own perspectives..

Sometimes we are afraid to express our opinion to a person we consider wise and in the process we miss the opportunity to share our ideas and contribute knowledge that can broaden an established idea.
Greetings my dear @chbartist
