Another something I stumbled across. I posted it here because, well:
Do you seek the truth? I mean, REALLY seek it? Or do you just kindof skirt around the edges of what you THINK is the truth until it starts getting uncomfortable, and then stop?
Being honest is hard. Seeking the truth is HARD. Even moreso now that you've got the Internet, and it is so easy to find anything you want that comports with your view of the world. Do you believe the earth is round? There are lots of websites that you can find that will provide seemingly good data proving that. Do think it is flat? There are lots of websites that you can find that will provide seemingly good data proving that.
Point is, even when we are SURE we are right, we have to entertain the POSSIBILITY that we MIGHT BE WRONG. We have to be willing to challenge what we believe, and integrate new information as it becomes available.
