Do you ever notice how easy it is to evaluate someone’s social and intellectual evolution by what they choose to talk about? More evolved minds think about ideas and have a vision. Less evolved minds think about events and places. The least enlightened minds think about people and tend to judge appearances. If someone encounters a bearded man and makes derogatory remarks, as opposed to being neutral or speaking favorably toward him, he should consider the source.
People with limited perspectives tend to embrace conformity and homogeneity as comfortable touchstones that don’t challenge their ingrained mindsets. Men who let their beards grow are generally nonconformists seeking to align themselves with authenticity and diversity. As such, they challenge the status quo in a way that make some people uncomfortable.
Maybe men who choose to let their beards grow are inadvertently involved in a ministry to raise social consciousness and elevate intellectual awareness. Just by wearing their beards proudly and living a compassionate, meaningful life they can create opportunities to change someone’s heart or mind.
Inspire evolution!
BE HUMBLE…BE KIND…BE BEARDED.
