Big thanks to @simoezandawi for re-steeming. Thank you for posting @taskmaster4450! It's really nice to see this kind of writing.
There are so many good lines in this post and I do wish Steemit or Busy had a 'highlight' feature, similar to Medium.
Your writing encourages me to go deeper into some of the more darker topics and heavier viewpoints I have of the current state of society, so thank you for expressing yourself like this, I really appreciate it.

Hence, most have beliefs that they did not choose, yet will defend with passion.
This is one of the biggest pain-points for me; it's extremely tiring having to dance around these bullshit belief-walls that people have up.
When people are challenged on their actions/thoughts/views, some literally say, "Because it's just what I believe," and they close off right there, they won't even hear you. And as much as I don't believe that everyone has to explain themselves, I do believe that you should understand why you are the way you are. Otherwise you're programmed a certain way without any real understanding why. You can't comprehend what you're closing yourself off from and you can't truly manifest an amazing life.
We have to keep finding new ways to have people look inwards; and I believe one of the most effective way to do this is to interact without ego. If we act without ego, we can act as a mirror for the person we're interacting with. It's something Ram Dass talks about in the way he lives his life. (not sure exactly where in the lecture sorry).
Anyway, I don't want to blab, thank you again for your writing @taskmaster4450, I look forward to more.
Happy self-loving!
