What is the point of life if you can only keep your beliefs, opinions, and ideas to yourself?

Question

I just don't get it. It's about what you give to the world isn't it? It's not for other people to judge what you present as bad, religious, wrong, or anything right?

Thanks to everyone except Gary F. I don't mean to be mean, but he was a total jerk!

Answer 1

Good man. Who said you can only keep them to yourself? You should not force them on others but keeping them to yourself is not good either. Use a good forum, however. Write letters to the editors. Write informed treatises to magazine or newspapers. Don' t just stand around with a beer in your hand blathering away.

Answer 2

It sounds like you expect everyone to give up their time and listen to you because you have such knowledge and wisdom to share. Well, first of all you don’t have anything special because if you did, people would find you and you would not feel so ignored. Second, I doubt you want to be bothered by people trying to cram their beliefs down your throat and you should show them the same courtesy.

So, no, don’t assume anyone gives a sh!t about your beliefs or has any reason to listen them. Their life and time on this earth is just a valuable as yours.

Answer 3

Your beliefs and opinions should be used as a guide for your life.
Don't try to convert anyone,if you live rightly,you set an example that others might want to follow.

Answer 4

I agree.
But, people present their beliefs and totally disrespect beliefs that differ from theirs. Then, you have the typical "trying to convert people" posse. So, it's a bit complicated eh?

Answer 5

keep your beliefs with others that share it and leave the rest of the world alone

Answer 6

The whole point of life is to bring honor and glory to God.
