Charlie Daniels, the legendary country star famous for his hit, “Devil Went Down To Georgia” posted this inspirational quote today:

Real courage is tested and proven when you stand against the onslaught of popular opinion knowing you’re right Let’s all make the day count. – Charlie Daniels

So when I disagree with everyone else who seem to have the same opinions on everything that goes on in politics and current events… does that make me a bad and controversial person that some make me out to be? In reality, no… not at all. It’s a good thing to do is to disagree with popular opinion. It’s okay to stand against popular opinion. You don’t have to side with everyone on everything. You know what that’s telling you when you do stuff like this? It shows that you are brave. Not afraid to be honest even if it might upset some people.

I’m not trying to explain myself or to defend myself, just trying to make a point.

I just think having the same opinions as everyone else is pretty lame and I don’t have to be like that. It’s okay to be different and there’s nothing wrong with it at all. Don’t get me wrong though, I do side with everyone on some things but it happens very rarely.

I just think life is better being honest and realistic. As long as I’m getting people going, getting people pissed at my thoughts… it lets me know that I’m doing okay and I might be saying something right.
