if one believes especially if it comes from sources of authority.
For example, the FDA is a source of authority.
You trust them, you believe in them.
You then eat something that is artificial, made from chemicals alien to the body's ability
to process effectively, made from questionable sources, why not?
when no less an authority than the FDA tells you that it is safe
and good for you.
Then, one day on a whim,
you decide to read the labels for yourself.
You go even further and investigate for yourself
the ingredients of what is inside that so-called food stuff
and what it can do to your body, your health, your well-being.
And you come away very shocked at what you're eating,
noting that you're actually ingesting things that were never meant
for the human being to ingest.
Once upon a time, the scholars of the day taught
and believed absolutely that the earth was flat.
To not believe that meant one of two things.
One, you are stupid and uneducated
and or you are a heretic to be executed.
Very strong words, but in fact that's exactly what they did.
Belief systems can be very strong
with some very serious overtones.
For example, you may want to look up the origin of the word picnic.
Innocent enough word as it is, picnic.
And then read what happened at picnic-like settings in our history.
You really need to keep in mind that it wasn't that long ago
that certain members of our society were not considered human beings.
People from no less an authority than the Bible.
According to the clergy, these sources of authority
would determine which among us would deserve civil rights
and which would not.
As I said, belief systems can have some very serious implications.
Once upon a time, the educated ones of the day were the clergy
and if they said that the earth was the center of the universe
then as an uneducated person you had no choice but to believe that
the center of the universe was in fact earth.
And to not believe that you would of course risk the fate of execution.
Think about that.
I did today.
I thought about that as I drove on which duck road today.
This is where they would throw women accused of being witches into a lake on which duck road.
And if they drowned, that proved it.
They were witches.
Free thinking women were simply not allowed.
Develop free thoughts and you run the risk of execution by drowning.
I have no idea how many women were murdered that way.
After all, they were witches.
So maybe nobody even bothered to keep a record of those witches.
Yes, well, you say that could not happen today.
Really.
Do you really believe that our justice system is infallible
without built-in deliberate imperfections?
What was the last time you entertained yourself by questioning
what you really believe about anything?
Your religion, your heritage, your politics, your parents
or any so-called sacred cow,
not to be questioned areas of your life.
As an uneducated person, that is to say, I am not learned in so many disciplines
meaning that I am free to think as I wish dogma does not enslave me
and as an ignorant person on so many different levels
on having to do with so many different subjects,
I am free to draw my own conclusion based on three things.
My knowledge, my experience and my feelings.
Now, that is freedom of thought.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating ignorance quite the contrary.
As a matter of fact, I'm saying know what you're talking about
and know what you actually believe in is so.
In other words, substitute facts for fantasy.
Regardless of the authority who generated that fantasy.
I believe that photorph is therapy
and it is really, really, really good therapy.
So now, you can share your belief with me
by sharing your comments and your suggestions.
Thank you.
