3 Truths I Wish Everyone With Political Opinions Would Accept
If everyone embraced these facts, we’d actually make progress
Got opinions?
Great! So does every other human being on planet Earth.
We swim in opinions today. In previous centuries, the primary sources of opinions would have been personal conversations, books, pamphlets, and local gatherings. Today, we have the internet, television, radio, podcasts, blogs, social media platforms, and more.
Is that what we call progress?
Today, we live in the Age of Information Overload.
As well as Misinformation Overload.
And Opinion Overload.
The consequences of such remind me of these words from King Solomon:
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. (Proverbs 10:19, KJV)
We have plenty of opinions. What we need more of is wisdom.
The pursuit of wisdom, however, requires humility as well as a commitment to listening, learning, and thoughtfulness. I don’t see a lot of these qualities today.
