Let freedom roll!
I have started to grow a beard. So what?
Well, that's would you would think should be people's reaction.
Well no; it is fascinating how people feel that they must express their opinion on beards and tell me what I can or can't do with my face!
O.K.; you might have to look at me, but, I also look at you, and I accept how you present yourself. If you want to make a change - that's your choice.
It is fascinating how people feel that they can tell another person how they should look. Surely we are free individuals who have the right to make simple choices: a beard, a new hair colour, wearing a bright pink shirt!
An important part of being human, is having the freedom to be yourself. Loving our neighbour is about letting them express their individuality in a way that they are happy with.
So, I am growing a beard - please - let me have that freedom!!
