Question everything.
Now there's a concept that can drive you crazy.
You certainly can not believe everything that we were taught or everything we are told. So what do you believe... What should you believe? Virtually every source of information comes out side that of personal experience...and is usually told with some degree of unreliability. Hidden agendas, misrepresentations, wrong interpretations, embellishment of the facts, omission of some of the facts, news reported and sensationalized to get the desired effect upon society as a whole. Desired effect? Yes, every form of media is intended to shape your perception , not for you to think on your own, but to convince you to believe as they do. So where does that leave you? Questioning... doubting...searching for answers. A wise man once said that there is an ounce of truth in everything... knowing that much of what you are told should be questioned and suspect. Then there's the difference between fact & truth... complicated by beliefs... ruled by emotions. And there are those that intend to deceive with purpose to further their agenda. Truly a situation that leads to at least some degree if uncertainty... if not outright deception. Take from all this what you will. Today's events as well as history are all effected. So... Now ya know why I seldom watch the news... It's a matter of my emotional well being, or simply to avoid the sensationalized dribble that they call the news. This is especially true for anything political.
