An open mind or a fixed one

"...a human being is most dangerous when he is certain what he knows is the truth"

I don't know if that was the exact words he used, and I don't know why I never thought of those words myself.

Look at it.

Don't we all get a bit hostile when someone questions our beliefs?
We become more...dangerous.
Because of how sure we are that WE are right, and everything else is bullshit.
Meaning, technically, that people fixed in they're beliefs are more hostile.
(I can already feel the hate and and hostility of some of the people reading this)

So, what now?

Have an open mind?
Be unadamant in what you believe in?

"an open mind is like a fortress, with its gates unbarred and unguarded"

It just makes you more corruptable.

And that is why I always say...
"nothing is true and everything is permitted"


Because instead of fixing yourself to an absolute truth or absorbing and accepting everything I read/experience/watch, I learn.

And I learn many takes on life.

I learn why the scientist says God is a myth.
And why the priest says evolution is a myth.
And why the spiritual leader says "peace in all things"

and everything in between yes and no.

I have no belief other than that saying.

But believing in that saying is self contradictory.

Like telling a genie that you wish he would not grant you this wish.

The genie must obey and grant you your wish, but that would mean not granting the wish.

Confusing, I know.

But I am willing to sacrifice any peace of mind.
Willing to believe in nothing.
As long as I keep learning.

None of my posts should influence anyone.
I wish for everyone to just remain fixed in their beliefs.
And they will be.
I am sure of it.

Over-generalising people

We are aren't we?
It's not entirely our fault.

There are 6 billion different minds on this earth.
And because we CAN categorize, we DO categorize.

It's so much easier, isn't it.
To have yes-people and no-people.

Rather than reading through countless opinions,
Some similar to others, but never quite the same.

Stereotyping people is bad.
But necessary.

I mean, I wouldn't want to be in the same category as a grave robber.
But because we both don't believe in eternal damnation, I guess you bundle us up.

I've got to conclude this argument fast because I can't be seen on this PC in 5 minutes.

People shouldn't be over simplified.
Look at yourself, look at how complicated you are, now imagine 6 BILLION other people and their complicated selves, if that doesn't help, count 1 to 1 billion and times that by 6.

Remember, there is no absolute truth.
Not even the truth on this website.
The only truth to be had, is personal truth.
Which we can absorb from Holy scriptures, works of literature, scientific studies, etc.
But that doesn't make it true does it?
Just because evidence from one source can disprove evidence from another.
