I heard a man speak tonight.
He spoke of another man.
He spoke of a man who he believed was higher.
He said that this man was
Caring
Loving
A Leader.
A man who knows all.

He also spoke of another man.
He said that this man was very different.
This man was said to be evil.
He tried to convince others to do his bidding.
He tried to make everyone
Obey him and form against the other man.
He was said to be
Evil
A Liar
Manipulative
And Selfish.

I laughed.

All that this man said
All that he believed
Was based off of what others told him
About these men
And what he had thought himself.
It was his opinion.

His opinion
Was off of others opinions
Who were off of others opinions
Off of others opinions
And so on.

So who is this
Opinionated man
To tell me that my
Opinions
Thoughts
Beliefs
Of these men

Were wrong?

Then when this man tries to ask
Why you think the way you do
It shouldn't be surprising
That typically they themselves
Can not explain their own answer
To their own question.

So please think about what you
Hear
See
Actually know
And speak.

Because you are no higher
For thinking that your opinion
Is more correct
Than someone else's opinion.
