"This world is our platform,
where we let opinions play...
Beware of the extremes,
nurture doubts, don't fall for narratives."
We get easily influenced,
when we try to project ourselves,
to take sides, support the cause,
perceived injustice or potential interests.
It might start as casual inclinations,
from childhood or social exposures,
filling our mind with certain beliefs,
establishing it into stronger convictions.
And we ignore our life's reality,
facts were trampled, like fallen leaves,
falling victim to a dangerous game,
of those pitting, "us" verses "them".
Lost in the storms of our emotions,
we make decisions, without reflection,
our thoughts were rigid, and not flexible,
for us to empathize, have compassion.
We as human, are weak at heart,
it takes courage to realize, introspect,
a little spice of healthy skepticism,
being sprinkled upon preformed notions.
Yes, we do have grievances,
or have personal preferences,
we rather make the choices,
without being judged or questioned.
Still, we have to see the larger picture,
being aware of words being spoken,
emphasizing reasons, open to discussions,
not narrowing it down to mere assumptions.
