Embracing the Unreasonable: The Power of Going Against the Grain.🙃🤡🙃

It Takes Nothing to Join the Crowd. It Takes Everything to Stand Alone.

Hans F Hansen

I was never one for following the crowd, and in my writing life, that’s something I’m proud of. Of course, it’s not without its risks, but that is the only way to make a difference. The reasonable approach for anyone looking to write fiction would be to look at what is popular in the market and do what hundreds of others have done.
It makes sense if you think about it.

Do Not Conform.

I just couldn’t bring myself to be that kind of writer.
I have something to say that only I can say. Why would I dilute and obscure that message by following the crowd?
And that’s why true success is achieved by a minority of people.
Because it requires unconventional ways of thinking, which would disrupt most people’s sense of comfort and security. That’s why being unreasonable in my writing and envisioning the extraordinary is important to me.

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.” — George Bernard Shaw.

The power of embracing the unreasonable in writing has the potential to inspire change in the real world. Stories that challenge societal norms explore uncharted ethical dilemmas, or envision utopian futures can spark conversations and inspire movements. Individuals who dare to be unreasonable can become catalysts for transformative change.

Imagine a world where the Wright brothers were content with the reasonable idea that humans could never fly. Or a world where Garrett Morgan never pursued the unreasonable dream of organising chaotic traffic and making travelling by road in cities safer by inventing the Traffic Lights. Such remarkable leaps in human progress were made possible because these visionaries were undeterred by the boundaries of reasonability.

In my world, embracing the unreasonable can lead to stories that resonate with authenticity. The portrayal of human emotions, desires, and struggles often becomes more poignant when juxtaposed against extraordinary circumstances. The unreasonable elements serve as a backdrop against which the human experience shines more brightly, offering readers a mirror through which to examine their lives and aspirations.

Embracing the unreasonable is not without its challenges. It requires resilience in the face of scepticism and rejection. Yet, it is precisely through these challenges that individuals experience personal growth. The journey of going against the grain fosters a tenacity that is invaluable in navigating life’s twists and turns.

Unreasonable thinkers have always been at the forefront of social change. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream of racial equality was deemed unreasonable by those who preferred the status quo. Yet, his unwavering commitment to justice led to transformative movements that reshaped societies and, in King’s case, even changed the course of history.

Those who embrace the unreasonable leave behind a lasting legacy. In the writing world, their works become timeless classics, influencing generations of readers and writers. In life, their actions and ideas become the building blocks of progress, shaping the future.

The unreasonable individuals among us are not disruptors for the sake of disruption; they are catalysts of progress and innovation. They challenge us to reconsider what is possible and inspire us to reach further. I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer to align with that kind of thinking. We all have the potential to be unreasonable in our pursuit of a better tomorrow.

So what are you waiting for? Take the step, be unreasonable and see what happens.

Be Your Own Hero.
