Don't Agree with Me (I don't) ...be a Free Thinker

Ideas are a way of seeing. Seeing isn’t necessarily being.

To look, wonder, question and think are core tasks for a conscious mind.

We find evidence, weigh it, and consider it as we seek answers and ponder reality

Sometimes evidence contravenes our biases, perspectives, expectations, and hopes.

Evidence versus expectations.

Nuance is everywhere. Uncertainty is ‘everywhen’. Ubiquity is ‘everywhat’.

“Who, how, wha…” is all of this that fills our mind with doubt. Nuance balances us awkwardly between opposites.

Skepticism is a tool but not an end. It can trap you in a ‘room’ of paralysis. Uncertainty, like medicine, can be a poison in excess quantities.

‘Skeptimism’ (skepticism + optimism) opens more future doors in your search. Answers are ubiquitously (all) about us.

Free thinkers look, ask, question, doubt, ask again, and seek convincing evidence that can refine their questions closer and closer to something real.

Fate thinkers are doomed to see and to stay the same.

Your fate is that you are free to change your fate — therefore ‘fate’ is seen only by and in a stationary and blind mind, but it is never real in a free mind.

Think like me and think for yourself. :) Be open
