we get confused, because the only way our “way of life” perceives perceived truth is as some sort of reason to share or bring that truth to others (information).
when we are children, we pick up the blocks, and discover the square peg won’t fit in the round hole.
there is a curiosity that early childhood education considers a way of exploring one’s world…..assembling the reality by touch, sound, and smell….as well as sight. they shove their hands into dirt, to know what dirt FEELS like.
many adults give this up…..they trade in the motivation to explore, for a canned reality. a spoon-fed idea that in large is sponsored by those in power to get more money. now, there is a very “real” quality to perception, that creates a reality based upon CONSENT. and they don’t explore anymore to decide if the reality fed them even makes sense.
and what we are SEEING in our time, this day and age…..is an incredible amount of “consensual belief” that does not make sense. that just plain doesn’t pass the test when running it by your own verifiable conclusions.
when i was a kid…..i didn’t even take my mom’s word for it. she told me not to touch a certain part of the stove, and i touch it anyway when she’s not looking. is too tempting to discover, that nob that looks like a button covering the pilot light. so i burned my finger on that for the first and the last time. lol…..and it was more effective a lesson, than if i had not grasped my curiosity, and fulfilled my knowledge.
later on, when physiology is explaining the manner of reflexes, i’m like heck yea, you pull away darn quick from a fire. but if i had never tried, i would not have that depth to my understanding. so it all works like a weaving of roots that will grow and blossom in places you could never plan.
so yea…..keep asking questions. is that kid part of us that is still exploring and trying to make sense of our world.
you see, the insides keep growing as long as we let them…..and nobody should be afraid of a question. nobody. but it blows the mind how MANY in our world now, do not have their own answers. ALL the answers they have, are ones generated by the collective.
so then you get discouraged, because 99% of the people you ask, are NOT going to THINK….and will simply give you the regurgitated thought they were taught to swallow. and ADULTS….people that should know better, are totally confused on the difference between KNOWLEDGE and INFORMATION.
those are two different things……if you do not KNOW what you are talking about…..you might as well be a programmed walking wikipedia, and more power to ya. INFORMATION is NOT growth….it is not “exploring your world.” we explore our world to know how….
so yes…..definitely, keep asking questions. explore that jungle….cut your own path with your own machete……
whether you clear the way for someone else makes no difference…..you clear the way for you.
don’t believe your answers are not worthwhile unless they are adopted by the collective. information retained by the collective is SLOW….and out of date by the time it hits people’s ability for reasoning. i mean, don’t you hate it when there is finally a news program or show….or song…..on a something you realized 5 years ago or so?
yes….our questioning might take us far into left field……but left field might be where the ball is coming next. the ones who survive are those who adapt to their world….not those who try and make the world adapt to them. reality doesn’t change, and people rarely do…..
you see, socrates somehow managed to exist without a hospital on every block, a school on every corner, and a church in every neighborhood. we are beset by a world telling us what to think…..not showing us how to think.
you put two and two together…..when first learning, we take two blocks and two blocks, and the parents will line them up together, and tell us that particular number is called “four.” but we are so blind in our lives, and so stunted in growth…..that very few understand that “four” is just a name. does calling the corners of a building a number, make it a home? lol….the degree of arrogance through conceived understanding because of “naming” is unreal. the actual concept of putting one thing with another, to create something of a different nature than either…..that is what 2 plus 2 equals 4 means. is it a reality????? or do we laugh, when the child points and says 2 and 2 are still there?
again….it’s information being confused with knowledge. to understand what a circle is….it helps to walk in a circle. not to stare at a circle on a page, and call it a circle because that is what someone told you and expects you to memorize.
our heads are FILLED with names……all of which have absolutely no worth in establishing knowledge, but for the process of relating knowledge to another individual as information.
and you can watch it on TV…..they will say the name of an illness or disease recently “discovered” on the news….and not even explain what makes this “named entity” qualified as worthy of a name. they jump right into the conclusion that you, as the viewer, are to believe all that they relate as sooth.
it’s just all kinds of fucked up…..i don’t know what to make of it. because then people will take that NAME, and pass it to others as if THEY have any knowledge to relate. but they don’t, because the ones they heard it from never gave the “whys” ……and so you can’t ask them questions, because they will just look at you as if you are some kind of crazy for not taking the TV’s word for it….
they will tell you there is this cancer called melanoma…..and that means you should stay out of the sun. but what if you grew up loving the sun? are you supposed to throw away your own observations of enjoyment, because somebody gave a disease a name, and decided upon its CAUSE……all without your presence, input, or observations?
read once that if you have “so many moles” on your body, that means you are going to get skin cancer and die. so i started counting, and counted the number on one arm, looked…and i wasn’t dead. i started counting on my grandma, and it was more like that many in one square inch. she lived to 105.
so according to my information, they are full of shit. and that’s just an example, of what our society does to convince and make “true” a reality simply by naming it. you can watch them name something like the swine flu business now….and i’m busy asking why in hell are they naming a flu, when the flu is the fucking flu…..have we really become this anal?
and the answer, is apparently yes……and i am almost at my limit for fitting any more names into my head, while still being able to think effectively. it’s too much…..
like man heard from god that he got to name the animals (that’s in genisus) and he just kept naming!!!!!!! lol….is taking lenses and all manner of invention…..to look for smaller and smaller particles….to name!!!! is creating “things” like diseases and pharmacology….to name! yes, if there is a “named consensus” one can pool thought…..but that’s not what they are doing with it. they are using all those names to pretend they know what they are talking about. and most have absolutely no clue, and the most they are proving is that they are very adept at memorizing and naming things.
i’m tired……it’s not like anybody’s going to “get” what i’m saying.
you just have to see……that ALL this existed before man named it. and it was called “that thing over there.” what about it? oh, it has a name? that’s nice…..what the fuck does it do? and again now, why should i care?
oh…..because cigarettes will give me cancer and kill me? well, at that point i guess i’ll be dead, so it doesn’t matter. and i just LOVE how you can sit there with some sort of God-like augury, and predict the future of how i will die. makes me want to step in front of a bus to prove you wrong. bloody idiots. all that is is a form of SOOTHSAYING that is being masked by ….by what. not science, but a “belief” in science as some sort of herald of fact, rather than a possibility to personally investigate. and then it is being used as an EXCUSE to assume power and some sort of right, to be telling perfect strangers “what is good for them.”
i mean…..it couldn’t get any more ridiculous……and ALL is accepted by the status quo….it’s all accepted as some sort correct manner of existence. you feel within your rights to tell me to get out of the sun. WTF???? but people are doing it…..using their shitty realities that were fed them, as an excuse to play at having power over others……i don’t know what to do with them. because if they think telling a person how they will die is CORRECT…..i don’t know what chance any of it has. when doing that, becomes “socially necessitated” ….i don’t know what to do with them.
because what they are being TAUGHT….is to tell others to STOP EXPLORING and stop thinking. this is what is happening, and why it’s a problem. to be correct now, you are expected to take all at their word, and quit exploring your own world. how fucking boring…..
THEY have already decided for you what they want your reality to be……and they don’t want you exploring, because you’re going to find out it’s different. or that things don’t mesh up…..and then we are left with just thinking we are crazy, when it’s the ones that are following like sheep that are insane losers…..all stamped approved by their society.
so i don’t have the answers on how to make the whole better……from what i can tell, it’s a lost cause. there’s too many, and it’s spreading exponentially. but keep asking the questions, and let yourself grow. don’t ever stop growing inside, and you will never reach your potential, you will never reach anything, because there is NO end….what you will reach, what you will live…..
is you
