Sometimes a vague subtlety strikes
a person's fancy... and
it resonates. |
|
Then, for some reason or
to appease some rational or
irrational need, it develops into a notion...
then an idea... then a concept...
then a factual belief... and then it becomes
a believed fact. |
|
And sooner or later
a person has constructed a
belief structure from a vague subtlety that
he will use to provide a
basis for making important
decisions. It guides and instructs
him whenever an
apparently relevant subject is brought into
the general context. |
|
You have
assembled belief
structures about
friends, work, religion, and more.
People have assembled belief
structures regarding you. Each of us has
had many tossed our way.
There are many about
nutrition, health, pollution, the
environment, and government. There are many
about Thomas Jefferson, Clinton,
George W. Bush,
Thomas Edison, and others. |
|
How many of these vagaries,
notions, and wives tales are true?
Are there aspects of any of them true? |
|
When has relying on these
mechanisms for guidance ever provided
accurate instruction and sent you
in an optimal direction? |
