Imagination Rant

You stand up for what you believe in, and we'll stand up for what we believe in.

We understand. You think we're wrong.

We don't think you are wrong.

We think you are scared.

You are scared of things that you do not understand. You are scared of things you don't see. You are scared of the unknown. You are scared of being wrong.

We simply choose to use facts, documented facts, concrete and tangible proof, rational thought and discourse, to help us stand tall, proud, and not scared. We embrace the unknown.
Not scared.
But frustrated.

Maybe a little scared.

A little scared of sheep, woolly sheep with blinders who have been told stories of wolves by their shepherd, forgetting they are there, in sheep clothing, in the flock. Hiding beneath the shepherds cloth.

Drones.

Puppets.

Those who don't think for themselves, rather are content thinking how someone says they should.

Frustrated.
And a little scared...of how easily hate and intolerance comes to you.

But then. It's all just a matter of your imagination, and ours.


You stand up for what you believe in, and we'll stand up for what we believe in.

We understand. You think we're wrong.

We don't think you are wrong.

We think you are scared...of knowing.

  1. Beautiful, Frankie. This is the best essay I've seen that addresses the true root of what is going on. And you do it without blame, without name calling and without fear. Sharing this for sure, my friend.
