skepticism
Saturday, August 16, 2008
what happens to a dream deferred?does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?or does it explode?Skepticism is perhaps one of the best and most rudimentary spirits in mankind. Without it we cannot search; without it we cannot reason; without it we cannot wonder; we cannot inquire; we cannot contemplate. Without it we are not intelligent. We are a stray and hungry dog, and we will eat anything fed us.
Skepticism is a two edged sword, both sides sharp, as pure as blue steel and just as clean. One side does not allow us to believe everything off hand; the other does not let us necessarily dismiss anything off hand.
Skepticism is, in a way, the mediating influence upon curiosity which guides it toward wisdom.

im supposed to be studying right now but, well, temptations... ugh.
i was just wondering about the bermuda triangle and all that crap. i surfed the net for information. well, the majority of the stuff that ive read was about testimonials of those who lived to tell the tale, the physics involved in the theories, the words of the skeptics...
it was just so interesting that a place like the bermuda triangle exists. even though modern science still has quite a way to go to prove anything about the seemingly metaphysical phenomena of the said location, it is quite refreshing to fill your mind with the unknown.
A FEW ******** TO LIVE BY:
~~~ I dont read books. I stare them down until I get the information I want.
~~~ I died ten years ago. It's just that no Grim Reaper can get up the courage to tell me.
~~~ I dont wear a watch. I decide what time it is.
~~~ I can slam a revolving door.
~~~ I can speak Braille.
~~~ When I give you the finger, im actually telling you how many seconds you have left to live
~~~ I dont play "hide and seek". I play "hide and pray i wont find you."
