How can we fight against something, if we aren't fighting for something in return?
These are the things I wonder when I see people out there protesting and speaking out against things they don't believe in. About 90% of the time all I hear is what they stand against, rather than what they stand for. For example, there are so many people fighting against all of Obama's plans (of which I refuse to state my opinion) but the point is half of these people have mentioned how awful his plan is without mentioning a better alternative.
It amazes me that people have the audacity to fight for change with no alternative in mind. How can we be so quick to judge and to demand when we can't even make decisions of that significance. Half of us can't even find something to stand up for or believe in. Its all about education. Not nearly enough people take the time to educate themselves on a subject matter. They hear what they want, and all they know is what they've been told and its a done deal. I feel like were all afraid to learn, to see what else is out there. With all the hate, anger and violence in the world especially towards those who think differently I wouldn't blame everyone. It just bothers me that people can honestly say they stand up against and believe in things simply from hear-say evidence. Have we all become so naiive as to think that what you see is what you get? The more I explore and the more I educate myself, the more I fall in love with the world around me. I just wish others would do the same and take that same chance, they would be pleasantly surprised.
