Revolution

Everyone has rules that have been instilled in them by their parents at a very young age. What is good or what is bad, how to do the right thing and, how important honesty really is would be a few examples. My parents have always told me to never be anything less than revolutionary. They were raised in a time of revolutions such as integration and the woman’s rights movement. As a product of their environment of course they would teach their children to never be anything less than revolutionary. To be as revolutionary as I wish to be I keep up with the news, make others think and, voice my opinion at any cost.

Most children and young adults do not care for the news, newspapers, or even news magazines, but in order to be an informed citizen, who is not just blindly going on about their life you have to be informed. Knowledge truly is power. The more informed you are the better of a debate you can put together, and every good revolutionary needs to make other think.

Thinking is very important for yourself and others. It helps you move, causes you to dream, and helps you form an opinion. Once you, yourself realize how important thinking is it makes you want to tell everyone just to think about everything. Why are carrots so orange? Why is wool so coarse and harsh? How has graduation come so fast? Thinking inspires your creativity and forms your opinions.

Opinions are what make people different, without your opinion you would not have a favorite anything. Every person has to have an opinion to make a decision. Opinions aren’t just to have, they, like most other things are to share as well. A different opinion makes a person think. The more people who think the better the world will be.

Never be anything less than revolutionary is something I grew up hearing and knowing. Revolutions don’t have to be drastic, just change. As a free American woman I not only respect but also idolize the revolutionary’s my mother and father grew up hearing about. Knowledge, the ability to make others think and the ability to voice an opinion set some apart from others, they make them revolutionary, and somethings you just stick with.
