Everyone has an opinion about a certain subject. Everyone has their own thoughts and how they feel about whatever is going on in the world or their own current world. By current world, I mean their own lives. I noticed that in this world there are many people that just take someones opinion or thoughts on the world and make it theirs. That is one of the greatest injustices you could do to yourself because you are losing your free mind.
A free mind is important for each of us to have. A free mind is important because it is part of your individuality, and part of being free or happy to be who you are. You are your own person with your own thoughts, goals, opinions, and want to live life how you want to live it. No one can really tell you what happiness is to you, what a fulfilling life is to you, or who you truly are. We are all different. There are some thoughts, and things we want out of life that could align with others because at the end of the day we are all still human. We all want love, happiness, to complete our goals, to be supported, to not be so alone, and the list goes on and on.
Taking someones opinion just because it seems right or logical isn't right because that makes you a clone. A clone is bad because you are living an unfulfilled life. Your mind, has become a copy of different peoples thoughts. At that point you are basically dead it is just not official yet. You are dead because you sold your free mind, soul, and ultimately your entire being to be a follower of someone else. You were looking for answers as to what is right, who you are, what you should want, and what direction you should take in your own life. Does that person or those people you are following the footsteps in actually know the answer you truly seek? Some people may have the answers to the questions you have, but they cannot give you the answers to the all questions you may have been asking yourself all this time. People can help guide you on your journey in your life, but they cannot lead you on your own journey. They cannot lead you because all of our journeys are different. No two journeys are the same. They can guide you by asking you a question you may not have asked yourself. That person can tell you what happened in their journey and how they got their answers, so you can use them as somewhat of a "cheat sheet". I believe that we should look to guide one another rather than lead the whole way.
Having a free mind is important because you are on your own journey. You cannot copy someones elses journey or follow their every move because you are only wasting your unique life. A life is unique and should not be reduced to a mere copy of another individuals.
