I may have been born a skeptic
to the best of my reckoning -- I
did ask my parents in kind if my memory served me correctly that for among our dense immediate family I say dense only because we shared a one and a
half bath house among eleven -- to the best of my reckoning I was the only
child who displayed a pyrotechnic proclivity to challenge authority
any authority
accursed
perhaps it accounted for my
belligerence my questions deemed argumentative despite it not being my intent to argue
I asked a question with the assumption
that if the other answered it I might better understand their reasoning and thereby
it would help clarify their position
they immediately and curtly took
a defensive posture
I naturally assume a thoughtful
person would be grateful for a question asked of them on the slim chance that
it had not occurred to them -- therefore the thin web of possibility or ignorance
they may have looked through the
light inconsiderate unable to see it
correctly rendered transparent -- if tilted slightly it might be made apparent revealed
Why would such a question be
reviled
Lets play a game of Realism
“(It)
believes in the possibility of distinguishing in Politics between(wait for it!)
Truth and Opinion -- between what is true objectively and
rationally, supported by evidence and illuminated by reason, and what is only a
subjective judgment divorced from fact as they are and informed by prejudice
and wishful thinking*(Smells like Republican Spirit(my apologeezs to Nirvana))”
playing said Realism also had him on
the other side of the coin in regards to the inerrant Word of the Bible or any
religious book or professed dogma
inerrant was just another word
for perfect
he couldnt help but consider that
something that is perfect cant be recognised by imperfect human beings
they would be excluded to
consider by their imperfection alone
flawed cannot recognise flawless
it hasnt the capacity
thus the heavy burden of
skepticism and for the skeptic
he was a born skeptic
