We must understand as men that having a passionate opinion is good

Opinions vs Prejudices

• Opinions are ours as we should seek them
• Prejudices are from others and don't take any thought or work
• Opinions are different from prejudices because they come from us and not from others
• Influences should come through the filter of our thoughts and working through them ourselves
• Developing opinions help us develop who we are and that is a major part of our impact as men

Opinions Take Thought

• As we develop our own opinions we have to battle in our minds to help them grow and develop
• Opinions cannot truly be ours if we never work on them in our brains
• Big thinking development
• Men need big thinking because it causes us to think outside of ourselves and our own everyday wants and needs
• As men have lost the ability to think big, their influence in our culture has diminished
• Detailed thinking development
• Detailed thinking helps us develop our own worldview as men
• Opinions force us to think about the why's and that makes us mentally strong men

Opinions Require Truth

• To form a real opinion there has to be the element of truth
• Objective truth has to be in the equation or anyone can say anything
• Real opinions should be backed up by truth
• We must develop a taste for objective truth
• Our opinion has to be based on something
• We may have an opinion and be passionate about it, however, the passion we have for an opinion should not be stronger than our passion for the truth
• We must look to facts and truth when forming our opinions and not let them just be based on a feeling
• Men must accept the role of being truth seekers
• A truth-seeking man is a powerful man
