Whewwwww! God Damn @marshmellowman! The message in what's been said here is so spot on!
We have a whole society that has been taught repeatedly to comply without question. These people! It's the internet age and yet it feels like a new dark age night has fallen UPon us!
In a democracy this is troubling... because we only rise as high as the lowest common denominator... And the average bear in the forest isn't to bright!
This means that it's pretty difficult to live above it all... without taking a giant step away! But I believe that is what we must do sometimes if we are to elevate and transcend the stupidity of our times.
Recently I have taken this giant step... while also keeping one sensor in the water so I know what the masses are thinking. (This meme spoke to me actually.)
But I tell you! Detoxing daily. Keeping away from all those people telling other people what and how to do their lives. Just keeping my mind on track. It's become a monumental task in it's own right! Thinking for myself... Living free... To me! This is EVERYTHING!
I tell you... it wasn't until this pandemic that I experienced a sense of annoyance for the first time in my life.
And here's the thing...
People don't like to ask (or be asked) questions...
But I do.
They don't like to feel like they are wrong or that they might not know something...
But I do.
They hate it when someone contradicts them and gives them a new frame of reference.
But I do.
Because it's not what you know... It's what you don't know... and life is not so much about what's right and wrong like so many simple minds are thinking right now. It's more about the pros AND cons of any line of thought proceeding action.
So questioning everything... THAT is how you live a free life! And a free life is a life worth living.
I LOVED the memes and LOVED this leading sentence:
If there is any thought that a questions should be asked then it should.
Thanks for the pick-me-UP and reminding me of why I continue to do the things that seem uncomfortable (at first).
