Good Morning Everyone, Today is just a little different, I will be putting up the "story" (which is a quote today) and then making comments afterwards. Todays Quote: "The death of dogma is the birth of morality." -- Immanuel Kant OK, what exactly does that mean? Let's say this quote again using words we recognize. "When someone's opinion, being presented as fact and forced down your throat is taken away, then and only then will the beginning of an inner examination be possible." The death of dogma, all anyone ever asked from the bashers was for proof of their statements. Small request I would think because they had to come across something that gave them their opinion, some fact they uncovered hidden away from prying eyes, something, or did they?? Maybe there are those out there that have the type of personality that cannot survive without some form of power? Little people who's lives are so pathetic in the real world that they are always afraid, always angry and at times down right hateful when they come across anyone who is having a good time. This creates in them an "opinion" without any basis in facts. Thus begins the Dogma, but opinion alone does not create dogma, it must be followed up with repeated attacks on anyone who asks for the true facts that gave them the opinion in the first place and those attacks must be a repeat of the opinion, attack, opinion, attack, opinion, until the facts are long forgotten if there were any in the first place. Thus Dogma is here!! The death of dogma?? Just stop listening to it and it dies, then we begin to examine ourselves, our beliefs, our facts about things. We begin "The Birth of Morality", the birth of truth. Just a simple little test today, try to think of some "fact" in your life, just one that when examined, is revealed as opinion and then decide whether you can continue to agree with that "fact", based on your own inner convictions. You will find that when you apply this to the internet, to the stock market, and to the people trying to give advice, you will know who to listen too, DOGMA?? MORALITY?? The choice is yours....... Have a great day all ! wb
