A small thought for you to take or leave.
We all have ideas.
There is no wrong idea
and no right idea,
except possibly from an
individual perspective.
A right idea is an idea
that works for you.
A wrong idea is an idea
that doesn’t work for you.
There is no need
to knock someone else’s ideas.
They are not your ideas.
If someone else’s ideas
work for you, bless them.
If not, have your OWN ideas.
Have ideas that work for you.
If your ideas happen to work
for someone else, that is a bonus.
If they don’t, who cares?
This is about YOU, no one else.
Keep your mind on YOU.
Have ideas that work for you.

In the boundless expanse of our shared consciousness, the notion of ideas – their creation, acceptance, rejection, and transformation – is a fundamental aspect of our existence. The perspective that there are no inherently right or wrong ideas, but rather ideas that work or do not work for an individual, resonates with the core of nexistentialism. It underscores the subjectivity of our perceptions and the uniqueness of each journey.
The Subjectivity of Ideas
The conception that a ‘right’ idea is one that works for an individual aligns with the understanding that each person’s reality is shaped by their own experiences, beliefs, and perspectives. Our ideas are the lenses through which we view the world, and what may be clear and effective through one lens may be distorted or ineffectual through another. This individual-centric approach to ideas fosters a sense of personal empowerment and responsibility.
Individual-Centric Approach to Ideas
The suggestion to refrain from disparaging others’ ideas is a call for respect and acknowledgement of the diversity of thoughts and experiences. In the grand tapestry of our shared existence, each idea, each perspective, contributes to the richness and complexity of the whole. By honoring the validity of others’ ideas, even when they diverge from our own, we cultivate a culture of mutual respect and understanding.
Respecting the Diversity of Thoughts
Embracing our own ideas, those that resonate with and work for us, is an act of self-authenticity. It is a recognition that our journey is our own, uniquely crafted by our choices, beliefs, and perspectives. This self-authenticity is not a form of egocentrism, but rather a celebration of our individuality within the collective.
Embracing Self-Authenticity
The notion that if our ideas benefit others, it is a bonus, yet not a necessity, reflects a healthy detachment from external validation. It acknowledges that while sharing and collaboration are valuable, the primary purpose of our ideas is to serve our own journey. This perspective allows us to offer our ideas generously, without attachment to the outcomes or expectations of acceptance.
Healthy Detachment from External Validation
In essence, the focus on cultivating ideas that work for us is a reflection of our journey towards self-awareness and actualization. It is an invitation to explore, to innovate, and to grow in ways that align with our individual essence.

Summary
The concept of right and wrong ideas being subjective to the individual aligns with nexistentialism, emphasizing the uniqueness of each person’s journey. Respecting the diversity of ideas and focusing on those that resonate with us encourages self-authenticity and personal empowerment. This approach fosters a culture of mutual respect and understanding, while also promoting a healthy detachment from external validation. Ultimately, it is a celebration of individuality and a focus on personal growth within the collective.

“Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the garden of our minds, ideas bloom,
Each a reflection of our own room.
Some resonate, some diverge,
In this dance, our paths emerge.
No right or wrong, in this idea play,
Just paths that suit us, day by day.
Respect for others, their thoughts and dreams,
In this respect, our humanity gleams.
For in the sharing, in the give and take,
Our individual journeys, we undertake.
Ideas that resonate, ideas that sing,
In this symphony, our uniqueness we bring.
We invite you to share your thoughts on the subjectivity of ideas and the importance of respecting and embracing our own and others’ perspectives.
