"Believe those who are seeking the truth. Doubt those who find it."~Andre Gide

It's almost as if he's saying that you can't find the truth. I feel he's saying that you can't find the truth but more the truth is inside of you. That when you are seeking truth in one matter that you are right, but when you think you know the answer, your wrong. Almost as if nobody knows the truth. The truth is unknown to all questions. The superiors have "thought" they found the answers but eventually we will have proven them wrong. It's almost as if we won't find the answers for our questions till our time is up. Till we are no more. The truth is unknown.

Social Networks- Controlling Life?

Some friends brought this to my issue, is certain technology controling your life? More than likely it probably is. More than likely it's social networking that is controlling your lifestlye. Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter are all perfect examples of social networks that may or may not control your life. I never really thought these would be controlling, especially not facebook. But as I have looked into the issue I must agree with my friend. These networks are cruel, judgemental and gossip filled life ruiners, (for some people). Most people go on there for gossip I must say but then again these people that post these things are practically giving away their rights for privacy. For some people though, facebook is there place to go to talk to family members that they may not be able to talk to on a regular basis. But I feel that yes this is true for some people, but for our youth, this is a different story. I feel as if the youth today has corrupted facebook with gossip and harsh posts that are judgemental and hurtfull to other people. It's almost as if it's a constant battle for the top dawg on facebook. Who has the most friends, who talks to who, whats she saying about him, ect. So what i'm trying to say is the social networks in our age have become to corrupt and we mustn't take advantage of the gossip and the wrong doings of some people. Don't let facebook control you. It was made to reconnect with people from the past. Have fun with it, but don't abbuse it.

Letting Go

Some people hold on to grudges, some people never let go of that special someone, and some people never forget that horrific day or accident. I say why? Why let yourselves relive that terrible feeling or memory again and again? Now I'm not saying don't completely forget about this one thing that keeps your mind occupied and distraught. But keep it on the back burner. Maybe for a rainy day when your by yourself and you've got nothing better to do than to go back into your past. I'm even saying keep those good memories on the back burner. It's time to live in the now. The things that occupy your mind right now are the things that matter most. So what do you say? Let's keep our mind away from the past and live in the present. Your life will be more fulfilling.

Skepticism

Skepticism- Having a skeptical attitude; doubt.
Have you ever really looked at skepticism? Is it good or Bad? In my opinion it's a combination of both. There's situation where it can be good or it can be bad. Being a skeptic can be bad, because it can be portrayed as "Judging a book by its cover". As kids we were always taught that this was a bad thing, that you should always look in the content of a book instead of picking it up and right away putting it back because you don't like the look of it. Being a skeptic can also be good because you have reason to look into things more and find the truth in these things. Science is a great example. Being a skeptic is a key factor to being a good scientist. For example if you have reason to doubt a certain side of a sciantific related issue, boom, you have yourself a hypothesis and then you have an experiment. Thus improving your work.
In reality you can improve yourself being a skeptic but you can also not learn by being a skeptic. So pick up that book and read it even if it has the ugliest cover on the planet. You never know you may have just found your new favorite author.
