We must understand as men that having a passionate opinion is good

Opinions vs Prejudices

  • Opinions are ours as we should seek them
  • Prejudices are from others and don't take any thought or work
  • Opinions are different from prejudices because they come from us and not from others
  • Influences should come through the filter of our thoughts and working through them ourselves
  • Developing opinions help us develop who we are and that is a major part of our impact as men

Opinions Take Thought

  • As we develop our own opinions we have to battle in our minds to help them grow and develop
  • Opinions cannot truly be ours if we never work on them in our brains
  • Big thinking development
  • Men need big thinking because it causes us to think outside of ourselves and our own everyday wants and needs
  • As men have lost the ability to think big, their influence in our culture has diminished
  • Detailed thinking development
  • Detailed thinking helps us develop our own worldview as men
  • Opinions force us to think about the why's and that makes us mentally strong men

Opinions Require Truth

  • To form a real opinion there has to be the element of truth
  • Objective truth has to be in the equation or anyone can say anything
  • Real opinions should be backed up by truth
  • We must develop a taste for objective truth
  • Our opinion has to be based on something
  • We may have an opinion and be passionate about it, however, the passion we have for an opinion should not be stronger than our passion for the truth
  • We must look to facts and truth when forming our opinions and not let them just be based on a feeling
  • Men must accept the role of being truth seekers
  • A truth-seeking man is a powerful man
