Are you really in control of your own knowledge?

Have you ever wondered if what you know is truly what you know?? Or is a bundled up result of what others have told you or things you've "heard". As adults and citizens of the world we must be in control of the knowledge we accquire. Never take sides or base decisions off of what someone told you. If you want to know...go find it yourself. The only way to know the truth is to seek it. That whay if you're wrong about something, you can blame no one but yourself. People have gotten so lazy. It's much easier to rely on someone else than to get up and find out ourselves.

In my opinion, ignorance is one of the most dangerous things facing the world today. It scares and saddens me at the same time how content people are with being ignorant. I know I can overdue it in the "useless knowledge" area, but i'm interesting in learning. I've enough sense to know that my opinion doesn't matter to alot of people, but that does not stop me from being engaged in the world around me. Even if somedays I feel like there's nothing I can do about it, this is still my life, and I have a right to know the things that could affect the quality of it.

So I ask again, are you really in control of your own knowledge?? Or is someone limiting the scope of your intellect? Or is your past, the way you were raised, or the way things are "supposed" to be keeping you from venturing out and learning more Don't fall into that apathetic, nonchalant trap. There is nothing wrong with caring about something. Even if everyone else says it's wrong. Never allow someone else to trap you in a box. Remember, the day you let another person control the scope of your knowledge is the day you have chosen to allow your success to be determined by their standards.

On that note...I'm out!!! Don't take no wooden nickels!!!!
