It's not to change yourself to what someone else thinks.
First of all, you don't really know what someone else thinks.
And if you're not genuine to yourself, there's like nothing is there.
It's just a projection or a mask.
It's not true.
In a sea of information, the more yours is personal,
the more it's not like hers or his or theirs.
It's yours.
There are these different points of view around us.
If we're all thinking the same thing, it's boring.
Why would we make anything if everyone thinks the same thing?
What makes us interesting are the differences.
And even the imperfections, the imperfections are what makes us humans, what makes us what we are.
As we get new information,
We have to evolve.
How can we live in an old belief?
If you believe the same thing that you believed 20 years ago about everything, I don't know that you're living.
There's so much middle of the road, and it doesn't interest me.
I want it because it's louder, quieter.
softer, harder.
