My question to AI about the thought:
“To Each His Own” encapsulates the profound notion that individuals possess unique perspectives, experiences, and desires that shape their choices and beliefs. It underscores the beauty of diversity in human thought and behavior, emphasizing that what may be right or fulfilling for one person may not necessarily hold true for another. This principle serves as a reminder to approach differences with empathy, understanding, and respect, fostering a world where each individual can pursue their own path towards fulfillment and happiness without judgment or imposition.
I agree with the concept. We are individuals with unique positions in life, but I disagree that we are allowed to pursue those ideas that are unique to us. There are laws, culture, morals, and many reasons why you CANNOT be what you want to be, go where you want, and do what you think is right for you to do.
However, we can be unique within the framework of what’s accepted.
I know I am. Unique, that is.
My coffee is black, my peanut butter is super chunky, my sleeves are long, my shoes are without socks, and my neighbors are as far away as I can afford. Transportation? My truck. My fingerprints are uniquely mine, and as far as we know, there’s nothing more special to my identity as they are.
My bible? KJV with a bit of NKJV thrown in from time to time. There is a heaven and a hell, and one day, we’ll end up here or there, so what I do with my life today is focused on my spiritual relationship with my savior. Jesus. That changes what I want to be more about what I need to do to be effective. It’s not always what I want. It’s more about what He wants.
Jesus called his twelve, and later, we find him calling Saul/Paul. Judas abdicated his connection, but then, maybe he was chosen because of his scheming attitude. I don’t know. Regardless, they have influence, so they call others. We should be okay with this, but we find fault with selections.
This thought came to me. Some like to journal, and they want to leave them behind for others to see why and how they think about life. But if the Bible is any example, we will argue over the meanings of words left to a generation without any idea what the original thinking process was like.
To each, his/her own is amenable as long as it’s within the framework of what we will accept. Else? Rebel!
