Life is not what you think it is going to be. You plan things, you make assumptions. Whether consciously, or unconsciously, we do it. We assume all the time. We assume we will be alive tomorrow, we assume the grocery store will have food, and we assume our pay checks will come in on time. In short, we assume life will maintain a steady rhythm. Until it doesn't. As much as we like to think we lust for adventure, we strive for stability, predictability.
It takes a strong heart to break away and pursue the unknown, to lust after the abyss. But there are a few who succeed. Some who are so out of the box we can't wrap our minds around them, so society shuns them. They are the ones so bizarre, so out of common character, they cant possibly be one of us. When in fact they are the best of us.
I've been lucky enough in my life to meet several people who have broken the chains of normality. They are a precious encounter. These people inspire me to break free of general ideas. To contemplate the unknown, the unspoken. These people rebel simply by being. While multiple minds might fervently agree on a topic, theses people pause. They reflect and analyze. And when they point out a flaw, or a different idea, they are given strange looks. They are banished from social circles. But they are blessed with a lens that strips away lies and facade.
Some of these characters are well known, moral celebrities. Others never reach fame. The social outcast rarely lusts after it. But they don't need to, these individuals have a way of attracting attention from the masses. Whether you chat getting a coffee, or meet intentionally, one thing is for sure, these genius free thinking minds are one of humanities gems.
Have you met a free thinker?
