Tired of the battles the wars the hate trying something else would be so great.What do YOU yearn for and why?

Do you increase your speed and barrel through to your death or find a different route?What is the point of warning signs if they are ignored? What is the point of having knowledge if it is not used to good purpose?

Knowing and ignoring is something else again. What possible VALID LOGICAL reasaon could there be for knowing and doing nothing?The way some heads are wired it is difficult to figure out the why of they do/don't do or say/don't say.Knowing and not doing. Is it criminal crooked corrupt evil? What is the point of knowing if you don't actively engage in mitigating minimizing? Sitting on solid FACTS and pretending they are not real is puzzling. What good comes of it? What is the point of it? less

Would you know if you had or hadn't?Aren't hypnotists able to plant in your mind that you were never hypnotized?Brainwashed sounds good doesn't it?

And we followed through with it.I don't see how telling the truth/honesty is even mentioned today. The "role models" are caught in lies 24/7 and no one says diddly. In fact the liars are obsessively defended by insisting they didn't lie. It seems among some it is a conspiracy to promulgate untruths. It is the current medium of exchange.What are children supposed to think when they see adults engaging in lying and other adults defending the lies? I don't know but I think it's not easy to be the child of such folks. Is that a great good the parents are doing? Modeling obsession? Making the ungood the only good?How much untruth can a brain be forced to accept as truth before the brain loses all functionality?Once the brain is inundated with belief in untruth can it ever be reclaimed? Deprogrammed? Is the cult of lies so strong that once in you can never extricate yourself? less

How did you react to finding out Santa Claus doesn't exist? Would you have rather been told the truth from the beginning or did you enjoy believing for however long it was?
