In today’s media , there are multiple, controversial movements going on. Feminism; freeing of nipples; police brutality; all serious topics that generate a wide variety of views, eventually leading to endless arguments.
However, whether I think the sky is green while someone else sees blue, it is all based on perspective. Maybe that someone has a total vision problem- or maybe I am the one with the problem. Either way this is my reality, and one sees the world differently than I do doesn’t make either of us wrong. It just means that our opinions don’t matter.
See, if it really did matter, then George Zimmerman (man who murdered an innocent teenager) wouldn’t be alive right now. Singer, Justin Bieber would have been deported; One Direction wouldn’t be a band- our world would be so different. Let’s face it, if one is going to say what they want , then one is going to hear what they don’t want.
However, while there are opinions that lead to ridiculous bickering, there are also those that lead to great things. Besides, Anne Frank once said,” people can tell you to keep your mouth shut but that doesn’t stop you from having your own opinion.” And when you think about it is because of people that do not keep their mouth shut that there is so much progression made in this world.
Influential individuals such as Martin Luther King, Malala Yousafzai, and Edith Windsor are people who opened up and voiced their opinions, and not just for themselves, they stood to support thousands of others who were under their same circumstances and brought awareness to their cause.
The truth is, opinions only matter when they are for the betterment of other people, not just so one could prove themselves right. However, in my opinion the sky is still green and you are still wrong. Sorry.
