Beautiful, @sourceoftruth, I agree with almost everything you say here; most of us are "sheep" and talk, walk, eat, drink and even think within the carefully engineered margins by the mainstream everything. But... Let follow your advice, think for myself and play Devil's Advocate for a spell...
I began to question EVERYTHING, especially my long held beliefs.
This is what my father thought me: question everything, don't take anyone's word as Gospel and demand evidence. So it's safe to say I fully agree, but it's not something I came up with myself... Same goes for you: someone told you to think for yourself.
I began only following what I loved and changed many things in my life for the better.
Now here's where it becomes a bit tricky. You see, this is just another method to get trapped in an "information bias bubble" and it is what's happening on the Interwebs at an alarming rate. "Follow what you love" has been automated for us, courtesy of Google, YouTube, Facebook and so on, and it traps people in their own information bubble where they are increasingly only finding people and opinions they agree with; search engines, favorites lists, friends columns, they all make a nice, comfortable, recognizable and agreeable environment for us to spend our time in. This is no less harmful than the manufactured consent by the mainstream everything.
Don't just follow what you love, but love what you follow. And yes, you can have love for your counterparts and opponents.
Just my two cents on a beautiful post. Keep up the good work; keep us thinking!
