Why keep your filters on?

We all see the world through a filter, regardless of who we are. We all have a filter built by our upbringing and what we surround ourselves with. This filter shows us the world different from others and how their filters work. The problem with filters is that you don't get to see the whole picture, only what fits through the filter.
It is our job to expand our world, expand our surrounds, expand our mind, and remove as much filter as we can, so we can see the world for what it truly is. A world that is crumbling, falling apart, ready to implode on itself. We live in a world of such amazing progress and technology and acceptance, and yet we still have a world filled with corruption and poverty and hatred. We live in a world that uses sex and fear to sell you on others ideals. We live in a world where the worst killings and atrocities are done in the name of religions that are supposed to teach love and acceptance. We live in a world where so many famous people are useless wastes of space and yet everyone wants to be just like them, rich and powerful with no real skill.
Yet, with all this, we put on our filters, we put up our blinders, we only see the things we want to see and we refuse to accept that anyone else's ideas could be more right than ours.
Open your hearts, open your minds, open your world up to what's around you and remove your filters. We need to make a change in this world for the better, before its to late.
