Colin, I went straight to personality
to see if it related to John C's recent
poll. I found it interesting when I read
this piece it brought to mind much of what
I have experienced.
We become uncomfortable with the thought that yesterday's truths are not always today's truths. Even more disquieting is the thought that they may have never been true in the first place. Just because we believe in something, it does not make it true. All too frequently we adopt a belief in things purely because we want to believe in them, or the source from which they came, or because we have not bothered to exam them. A percentage of what we believe in is pure rubbish that will not stand up to logic or intellectual examination.
