Hello Shawn,
We are born into a world of no rhyme or reason with our parents or guardians attempting to explain a system they don’t fully understand themselves. If knowledge allows us to find the truth within ourselves, which then allows us to see it in our personal lives and others. Self knowledge is your honing device for truth. We activate this device by questioning everything. We then gauge the answers we receive through filtering them through our personal knowledge regarding human behaviour.
Take for example the promotion of the drug, Gardasil, has been widespread, the last few years, with the commercial of young girls singing about being ONE LESS, regarding cervical cancer. Not only did the drug company push this commercially, but our government has introduced a national program of injecting girls as young as 12 years with this drug. The truth is this drug only treats some forms of cervical cancer leaving others lethal. This is just my opinion I believe a drug needs to be tested for at least five years before it is deemed as safe. If I had a daughter there is no way I would allow them to inject her with this drug.
Fact: Rich people often get rich forgetting that the people they cheat in incomes and business are the same folks they count on to buy their product or service which hurts them in the pockets in the long run.
The new level of ignorance in the world today stems from citizens accepting their ignorance and going with it as though it’s the truth. Often holding to the lie when they have been given the truth.
Clarity comes from having a desire to know the truth. Questioning the status quo or what everyone claims as true is the first step toward truth. Truth is, too many don’t care about the truth, but their own personal take on life. It’s this ignorance that is running rampant throughout the world.
I had to question many procedures when diagnosed with cancer, the information I gathered helped me to make the wise one that suited me. It is not for everyone, I chose not to have chemotherapy but use alternative healing. I went against the oncologist advice.
There is a lot of wisdom in your quotes Shawn, thank-you!
