I have never blogged and not sure I will like it, or if I will stick to it. I just feel like I always have a lot of stuff running around in my head. Maybe if I can get it out there will be more room for more important stuff. I'm not really sure where to begin, but here goes nothing.
This morning when I was watching a 'news' program there were these two men going at each other like rabid dogs. Both convienced they were 100% right and the other guy was 100% wrong. Isn't it funny how we always think we are right? No matter what the subject, if you have a thought on the matter, than you are right. How can that be?
How can we have totally opposite veiws and still be so convienced that "I am right and you are wrong?" Is there no middle ground? How can every political party, religious denomination, talk show host, etc. be so sure their way is THE WAY?
Why do we even belive what we believe anyway? Is it to make someone bigger than ourselves responsible so we can pass the buck? Is it to justify the lifestyle we live? Is it because we want to be just like dad, or never be like our mother? Is it all the little Life Commandments we picked up along the way?
I'm not really sure why. I just know that when I am passionate about something, that is the way it is. I am right and you are wrong! :-)
I love blogs, I follow several people and I'm sure we will have fun on yours. You asked a lot of great questions and I think that's a great place to start. I know you were not asking me in particular but of course I have an opinion. The truth changes but we don't think like that. Last week my favorite color was red and that was the truth, this week my favorite color is purple and that is the truth. We do see our entire world through all kinds of filters, religious, political and yes those pesky family traits. I think we are hard wired biologically as well, right brainers and left. The hope for all of us is to try to understand each other. To see through all of the human stuff and to look for the divine.
