Why the freedom of choice and opinions?

avatar

Greetings everyone šŸ™Œ

Oftentimes, I sit down and begin to clash 'irrelevant' thoughts in my mind. The irrelevantness here does not mean that my thoughts are completely foolish. No. The only thing is that, at the end, there's no end product to the thoughts.

One of their irrelevant thoughts is:
"Why did our creator give us the choice of decision?"

It sounds foolish, right?
Don't you think it would have been better if everyone thinks alike? I mean, picking our ideas and decisions from the same pool.

Take a look at this:
I'm not being religious here, but it's the same God who created us in His own image, which is who, a lot of people are fighting against today because we were given freedom of thought and choice.

To me, it would have been better if all of us are acting like a computerised entity, stick to what's good, and deviate from what's bad.

I know what you're thinking already; you're of the opinion that if all of us were made to think one-sided, then there wouldn't be a need to improve. Yeah, I know.

Let me take a sigh!šŸ—£ļøšŸ’Ø

In response to this prompt, I've been in both situations whereby we battled on people's opinions before getting scattered and also united.

Let me share:

I've been in an organisation whereby, at the end of the year, we bring out fabrics for us to choose from, which we'll use as a dressing pattern at the end of the year party.
For me, I don't have issues with clothing; "as long as you're good with it, it'll be good on me too". That is always my opinion.

That particular year, four different types of fabrics were brought; some people selected two as their favourites, some selected one, and some didn't like any.

This became a big issue because unity must be played for the dress to be accepted.

The people who refused to get along with anyone become a stumbling block. The majority tried to convince them, but no way; their "no" was their "no."

After negotiating for almost two weeks, the fabric got a mandatory stamp from the leader of the organisation, and that was it. The people who refused to part with the fabric still didn't buy it, and it really made the situation so odd.
That was the situation where diversity of opinions didn't play out.

Another scenario was when the group I was leading was about to choose successors for the various positions.
Courtesy demands that we pray, I mean praying to the point of seeing the chosen ones, but hey, there's a need to watch and pray too.šŸ˜„

I knew all these, so I organised an EXCOS meeting, brought out a white board with markers, wrote out all the names of the potential successors, and we began to analyse each of them one after the other.

In each of them, there were conflicting opinions, but at the end, we paved them to the minimum and got the result that we needed, and everyone was happy.

Thanks for reading.

I have imagined everyone thinking the same way but it wouldn't help us anyway. We need conflicting ideas and these things sometimes drives us to succeed without us knowing.

Yeah, I concur to this. These conflicting ideas sure bring out innovative ideas. But also, it has its odd side too.

Advantage== disadvantage.

We are all different and we think differently as well, and what someone likes another person might not like it.
Those people that refused to get the fabric might have another reason not too because out of four fabric they will definitely like one but they just choose not to go along with everyone.

Meanwhile if the organization has let everyone choose whatever they wanted that wouldn't have happened.

Yeah, I agree with you.
We are different, so is our thoughts, ideas and opinions.
But I wish it's possible for everyone to agree at a thing easily

My dear if we all had the same thought process then life would be boring. Our uniqueness is born from the fact that we do not all think the same way and with the same speed.

I get your point about unity in a group and that's why most times the leader remains the only one that can veto a thing into action. Like the cloth example you stated, no need for 4 samples, two samples are ok or better still the group should have a wardrobe officer who is fashion oriented to pick outfits and whatever he or she picks, all must abide by it

Yeah, I agree with you on the uniqueness on our ideas and opinions. No doubt, it's what has birthed a lot of initiatives. But also, it has caused troubles too.

This would be easy but hey, when you have brainy ones in the group, they'll always counter the selected fabric no matter how good it is
