opinions, opinions...and not an attack.

Dogmatic - dictatorial, opinionated.

I'm ready for highschool to be over for a lot of reasons. There's the stress of college stuff. SAT's and all that jazz. Mostly, though, because I'm very sick of overly opinionated teens. Highschoolers ADORE to be correct to the point where a lot of them establish opinion as if it were fact. The point isn't whats true anymore...It's just what I think is true which is true and what I think is stupid is wrong. What the hell is wrong with people?? Prime example...There's a piece of art called The Grande Odalisque by Ingres. It's a very old piece about a harem girl. The point of the picture is that she's GORGEOUS in the face. So it's a renowned piece around the world! There's a catch...The Grande Odalisque has about 4 more vertibre than a normal human. Her back extends into space like it was her job. ALSO...Her arm is too long for her body. ALSO, her legs are possissioned in a way that isnt possible for humans. Her legs are wrong. This picture is horrifying...but you don't notice. Those that do hardly care. The point is that the piece is worth more than you, your house, and most of your possessions. It's famous and expensive...Who cares what she looks like?

Your opinion doesn't shape the way everything is. The world goes on even with you wondering about the why and the why and why and the why...Nothing stops because you think it's ugly. You're ONE person. You're ONE individual that doesn't agree. I bet you hundreds of people disagree with YOU. Your opinions aren't fact...So don't push them on people as if there were. Opinions, opinions...
