"Deep inside me is a thought that is waiting to let itself out and I fear I will be ridiculed and hated for being myself but I must do it to keep the very little there is of me alive" - Me on January 1st 2008
Our education rarely fails us; when we go to stores and we are bargaining for items we have just purchased or making the most difficult of choices while picking out what we wish to eat for the day at a restaurant. However, when we have a belief and a way of thinking, our education truly fails us as it is here that our education truly tests us. When our very education is challenged and our belief systems are at the verge of being changed, we start analyzing everything that is given to us. I truly do not believe that anyone or anything should truly be allowed to propagate the changes that we 'feel' are necessary to make us better people in the environments we are placed in. I think that as educated individuals we need to explore every possible scenario before making a personally informed decision on whether or not we choose to believe what is being told or shown to us. Contrary to my own personal beliefs, there are individuals out there who use 'collective' thinking to make these decisions. I can only guess that their existence is necessary to ensure that my existence is possible.
I wished to actually write more on this and bring further light on the topic but I now understand and know much better than I did five hours ago and realize the err of my ways. I have also realized that when a thought is challenged that I should find more easier ways of letting people know that I don't digest everything put to me on a plate and that I actually like straying away for conventional wisdom and rely on my own intuitions, however wrong they may be, before I finally realize that I am either wrong or right. Either way doom is eminent and I have chosen this path for this very reason. No one came up with solutions for a better world by simply listening to the people around them and believing everything they were told. They thought and tried and tested and went back to the drawing board. Don't desert your thought pattern, its the most human thing we really have; yes even more than our emotions.
