“If people don’t say openly what they feel, what they want, who they really are, then maybe a part of us dies.”
Armie Hammer
Status quo is powerful — it keeps society in line.
But what if a group has beliefs that do not align with the status quo?
They may not have voted or even abide by your political views.
Or maybe they’re anti-vaccine or atheist.
What’s deeper than all of the situations above is the fear of being honest.
The fear of true transparency — the fight against the grain.
And everybody should be entitled to an opinion.
Even the opinions that go against your opinions.
