Being Neutral

by johnlazy on March 13, 2009

I admire those people who are a free thinker, being liberated in a firm way and can speak to you direct to the point because they want an honest to goodness conversation. They are the ones who are not afraid to tell you what’s in their mind even if you will be hurt in the process. I know it takes a lot to do that, because you should know yourself and accept yourself on what you’re capable to do and the limit of your competencies.

I also admire those conservative, the cautious one with a moderate mindset. It takes also a lot of humbleness to conform on traditional way of living life based on unadventurous setting.

People will love you and hate you for being a liberated. People will respect you and not give attention to you for being conservative. That’s what you will get if you are being vocal or being modest.

But I choose to become a neutral person; it is not because I’m afraid to have a stand or to decide but because I choose to understand. I am vocal sometimes and I’ve learn to shut up my mouth If my idea is being unreasonable. But most of the time I will push the limit of reason just to know the core of its existence.

I’ve tried to be liberated when it comes to ideas and beliefs but only few could understand where I’m coming from. In this country I live in, where conservative and traditional mind reign it’s hard to go further where belief will be bending. I did try to bring it up to some friends and the reaction is not pretty, I felt like I am the villain on the issue.

Well I do understand them because majority always rules and maybe I’ve gone too far when it comes to culture and traditions. Well I have some say on some issues but I’d rather keep it to myself not because I don’t have balls but because of the word “RESPECT”. Because indifference is part of human life and respect is the key to battle the indifference. It’s nice to have an opinion but it is also nice to figure it out if that can help or can destroy relationship to people.

I’ve tried also to become a moderate but people will misunderstand me for my actions. It is just like you have your own world and all you can do is listen to everything they will say.  And sometimes people will take advantage you for that.

So it’s better to be neutral because you can adjust to any situations whatever it is. Some people will question you for your courage and your ability to make a firm stand on issues, that’s normal but I would also want to tell them that courage cannot be measured through a mere strength of a body, outspoken words and witty mind. Courage is something you have if you can recognize situation in its full context.

Being neutral is not bad and it is not better either, So whatever kind of person you are be  that person because there are no wrong persona it is all about perception.

In Neutrality, one has to be matured enough to perceived about the issue. If not, neutrality will fail. :(

Maturity is needed to have a deep understanding of things. And it is really necessary to have a broad perspective so that you can weigh things much better. take care Ma’am Snow!

If by being neutral you mean being moderate then I have to say I’m neutral too.

But neutrality can also be taken to mean fence-sitting on an issue. Being neither here nor there. I’m a highly opinionated person – maybe it’s a factor of age, or experience. And this – being in neutral – is an uncomfortable place to be in. Because in a heartbeat I know I’d be jumping either this way. Or that way.

Well you are right experience would be one of the factor and the maturity. Take care Sir jan!

I am neutral whenever issues arise but there are times I’m lenient to the one who tells the truth…

I’m moderate, that’s why people misunderstand me most of the time. I want to be outspoken; I’m trying my best to work it on right now.

Well the best thing to do is to balance it out. Well you can be outspoken if you want but just remember when is the right time to stop if you felt like the conversation is going to nowhere. Take care and thanks for dropping by Zobrac.
