The Truth About Today

It's a shame to thing that in today's society, standing up for your own beliefs, standing up against injustice, and in face even just having an opinion is grounds for the rest of the world to judge, and exploit who you are. I know this first hand. Ashton is my pen name, one that I created to serve the purpose that I could express my true feelings, and voice my opinions, without having to suffer the consequences in my daily life. At this point in time, I cannot wait until the day when we are all truly free to say what's on our minds and not be scrutinized by the world around us. Unfortunately, until that day, this is the way it has to be.

We're All the Same on the Inside

I personally love the message in this picture. It doesn't matter if you're gay, straight, white, black, male, or female.... We're all human. We're all red on the inside.

Freeligious

For thousands of years, religious beliefs and practices have been a constant part of everyday culture. Whether it is Buddhism, Christianity or any other religion, there has always been a method and tradition behind these people’s lives. However – how far is too far when it comes to educating people about your beliefs? It’s one thing to be open minded, but it’s another thing to be aggressive. Sharing your faiths, beliefs, and traditions is fine, but you cannot force people to adapt and accept to a certain way of life. For example, some people may be welcoming of you coming to their door and giving them a magazine or flyer about your respective place of worship and others may not. Some people may interpret it as an aggressive way of you trying to press your beliefs on them. Techniques such as coming onto someone’s property without permission, or stopping them dead in their tracks in the middle of the street are not only intrusive, but can also be insensitive to someone’s personal space and beliefs. Personally, if I want to find out about a religion or spiritual faith, I will make the effort and find out myself.
