Here I sit, with myself and ponder things with no answer. Those much smarter than I will ever be have these things on their mind, and have no answer. But there ought to be a striving, and an attempt to move beyond shallow thought. Even though this is where most of us dwell, there are no answers there. Not only are there no answers in shallow thought, the right questions are not found there either. What is there is chaos and division. This is where our adversary wants us to remain, and most of us will remain there, tangled up with talking points and utterly unable to advance an opnion beyond slinging mud and demonizing anyone with an opposing view. I think our ancesters were better than us when it comes to critical thinking. I think most of us believe that anything outside the shallows is gibberish, because we have been enginered to never question the narrative. Our ancesters would be appalled at todays reasoning, and wonder how little value has been gained from twelve years of basic education. I make no claim other than this… I desire answers to questions that are rapidly becoming dangerious to ask. So as I step out from chaos and into the light, I will surely bring some of that tainted and chaotic baggage along, but hopefully over time I will shed it like an old skin, and become something better.

I have no idea where I’m going with this, and that’s alright. I’m a sojourner and pilgrim, and I’m fairly certain that the trip is as important at the destination, and with preconceived beliefs, and as opinionated and dogmatic as anyone I will ever cross paths with, I have one redeeming quality that the other side is desperatly lacking…. I will not pound a square peg into a round hole, and I can be reasoned with if your argument makes sense. I have many questions that until now I’ve not written down, so here I will make a list, and try to reason through them at a later time. Most likely much of this will seem like a child begining to question the Tooth Fairy, uncentain of actually wanting an answer that may revolutionize all thought moving forward, and the reality of stepping away from a spoon-fed fantasy that had been quite comfortable for ever until now. And wondering what else is total bullshit as well.

So since I am in the process of list making, it is very likely that I will return here to add, subtract, reorder and rephrase multible questions again and again, so here we go….

• Why do we believe that we are free?
• Why do we have so much trust for our political side and so little trust for the other side?
• why is is so easy to see the things that the other side just seems unable to see?
• Why are we not outraged by the coruption and hypocrisy from both political parties?
• Why are we ok with being lied to?
• More to come, my head hurts!
