Fahrenheit 451 | What if you let the world think for you?

Why did I take their word for it? 

That's not good 

No one liked it. You won't like it

Sound familiar?

In Fahrenheit 451, people live in a world where books are burned, not only because they are dangerous, but because thinking deeply has become uncomfortable.

People are handed conclusions instead of being invited into questions.

Montag, a firefighter whose job it is to burn books, accepts what he hears and the information he receives is from visual screens. He has not questioned…

Montag begins to wake up when he realizes he has been living inside other people’s certainty.

We face this a lot.

Wanting to see a movie.

Or try a restaurant.

Or have a new experience.

That voice inside us is already whispering because this is new.

And what if they’re right?

And then we get feedback from others.

The safe bet is to stay home.

Or worse, to come to a conclusion without gathering all the facts.

Only you know how you will experience something new.

Only you know how you will process it in your own way.

And once you’re there, wouldn’t you like to have a pleasant time?

If you stay home and listen to all the reasons to be unhappy, that wish is guaranteed.

But how does a story become popular years later?

Sometimes it happens because, past the noise, we're finally able to give it a chance.

Opening yourself up to a new experience could create a world ready to be explored.

And what a shame to miss that.

But you won’t know until you try.
