I want to rule the world!

God made us all unique. We all have different tastes and opinions. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. And each one of us has a free will to do what we want to do.
It's good that we are all different. God could've made us robots who all liked the same music, the same shows, the same movies, the same books, the same EVERYTHING! But instead he made each one us unique. No two people are alike. That's what makes the world intersting. Imagine a world with 3 billion of you. It's kinda creepy isn't it?
Even with this in mind, why is it that we bash other people's opinions and tastes because we don't like them? Why do we have to take a side on whether Miley Cyrus is a slut or not? Why do we have to be "Twihards" or complete haters? Why do we have to be screaming fangirls for Justin Beiber, or hate his guts? Do you notice the extreme measures we have taken as a soceity? This isn't just for pop culture, it's for everything. And in everything, there is middle ground that is only explored by those with open minds. Which is NOT the majority of people.
Even with our vast knowledge on how people's opinions differ, we still rely on people, such as movie critics, to tell us what we like and don't like. I despise movie critics, no offense to those who wish to be one. Mostly because almost every movie I like, they give crappy reviews. For example, The Last Airbender. Not just movie critics, but even my friends, even people who are fans of the show, even people who weren't fans of the show, told me this movie stunk on ice. I happened to love it!!! I enjoyed every second of it, except when they pronounced the names differently. I thought the acting was great (which many people didn't think so), I thought the effects were epic, I thought they fit a majority of the storyline well (sure they left some parts out, but in hindsight they made sense), and all in all, I thought it was a great movie. Even being a rabid fan of the show, I thought this movie was great. I could continue with more examples, but I think you get my point.
So why do we push our opinions onto other people? I'm totally guilty of it too. Another good question is why do we give opinions of things which have just looked at and think is stupid and haven't watched it or know anything about it? I'm guilty of this too... The thing is, I don't have an answer to any of these questions because honestly, I don't know. I think it's because we selfish people. All of us, myself included. We want our opinions to matter more than everyone else's. Why? Because we're human. We stink at life. And we want to rule the world. But have to keep in mind, that it's not our opinion that matters. When you die, your opinion dies with you. But God's opinion of you will never die, and will never be negative. It's God's opinion that matters, not yours.
So next time you get in an arguement with someone about something stupid that involves a difference of opinon, remember just how pointless that arugement is. Because in a day or so, it will fall away and won't matter. But God's opinion of you will last forever! :)

"And I am convinced that NOTHING can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love."~Romans 8:38 NLT
