My Grandchild,
In the final analysis everything is about someone’s opinion. You are worthless! You are wise! You are beautiful! You are strong! You are weak...It’s all opinions; how others see you. I want to have sex with you! I want to marry you! You should be a model! I can make you happy! I will show you hell! It is all their opinions...
Then we have YOU and your opinions. How do you see yourself? What are your deepest innermost convictions and opinion about who you really are? Worthless? Wise? Beautiful? Strong? Weak? Do you want to be a model? Do you want to have sex with him? Can you be happy with her? Is there any hell she can show you? Now that is YOUR opinion.
It is a simple tag of war. We are all pulling the other's opinion down, that ours may prevail, deliberately or innocently. They are not absolutely right with their opinions about you, neither are you always right about your opinion of yourself. But when you sleep at night, whose voice shouts louder in your ears; yours or theirs? When you walk down the streets, whose voice inspires you the most; yours or theirs?
You might stumble following one opinion or the other, yours or theirs; but better stumble in your opinions and convictions than to stumble in someone’s. At least you fell exercising your God given capability – To be opinionated, to be convicted in it and to walk therein. That is the fundamental attribute of real free men!
A note of caution – you can be a fool and be convicted that you are wise; it is also an opinion. If there is therefore any prayer to pray when you go to bed at night, pray that He who makes the voice speaks in your head, will also let the same reveal your true identity to you so you are not lead astray in the end.
Your Granny,
Adwoa Mercy
With Love
