I've never been too opinionated in my life. as i mentioned earlier, i'm slow when it comes to decisions, when it comes to defending myself. in fact, i dont' usually feel like i have to defend myself against anyone. i don't have a lot of righteous anger; i know i'm allright in myself, and have no reason to prove that to anyone. i've always shied away from opinionated people; it's no fun having to listen to their opinions which are usually shallow and far too intense.
but i'm changing, and feeling stronger about this or that opinion. some of that comes with age, all that time built up behind me, all the thoughts in my head coalescing into persuasive arguments. and then there's the part of me that just wants to jump all over the news. of course, i still don't give much of an opinion, i just ask questions:
is it really necessary to defend the fast-food companies?
If we build unmanned tanks, will we go to war more often because it's just a computer game, where the only actually deaths are on the other side?
aren't all movies about Christ essentially a bad idea? and shouldn't Christ be played by a very dark jewish man who looks awfully arabic? - actually this article contains good questions about the nature of man, evil or noble
I don't know the answers. i could state my opinions, but does anyone really care? as nice as it might be for the world to know how i feel about things, i'd rather have everyone thinking about the questions, and not simply my opinions. maybe that's where talk shows should go from now on. instead of the vituperative voicing of opinions, they should just ask questions, about everything. of course, then it would no longer be entertainment.
