Greetings everyone 🙌
Oftentimes, I sit down and begin to clash 'irrelevant' thoughts in my mind. The irrelevantness here does not mean that my thoughts are completely foolish. No. The only thing is that, at the end, there's no end product to the thoughts.
One of their irrelevant thoughts is:
"Why did our creator give us the choice of decision?"
It sounds foolish, right?
Don't you think it would have been better if everyone thinks alike? I mean, picking our ideas and decisions from the same pool.

Take a look at this:
I'm not being religious here, but it's the same God who created us in His own image, which is who, a lot of people are fighting against today because we were given freedom of thought and choice.
To me, it would have been better if all of us are acting like a computerised entity, stick to what's good, and deviate from what's bad.
I know what you're thinking already; you're of the opinion that if all of us were made to think one-sided, then there wouldn't be a need to improve. Yeah, I know.
Let me take a sigh!🗣️💨
In response to this prompt, I've been in both situations whereby we battled on people's opinions before getting scattered and also united.
Let me share:
I've been in an organisation whereby, at the end of the year, we bring out fabrics for us to choose from, which we'll use as a dressing pattern at the end of the year party.
For me, I don't have issues with clothing; "as long as you're good with it, it'll be good on me too". That is always my opinion.
That particular year, four different types of fabrics were brought; some people selected two as their favourites, some selected one, and some didn't like any.
This became a big issue because unity must be played for the dress to be accepted.
The people who refused to get along with anyone become a stumbling block. The majority tried to convince them, but no way; their "no" was their "no."
After negotiating for almost two weeks, the fabric got a mandatory stamp from the leader of the organisation, and that was it. The people who refused to part with the fabric still didn't buy it, and it really made the situation so odd.
That was the situation where diversity of opinions didn't play out.
Another scenario was when the group I was leading was about to choose successors for the various positions.
Courtesy demands that we pray, I mean praying to the point of seeing the chosen ones, but hey, there's a need to watch and pray too.😄
I knew all these, so I organised an EXCOS meeting, brought out a white board with markers, wrote out all the names of the potential successors, and we began to analyse each of them one after the other.
In each of them, there were conflicting opinions, but at the end, we paved them to the minimum and got the result that we needed, and everyone was happy.
Thanks for reading.
