This World Needs More CRITICAL THINKING! Think for Yourself!

A lot has been bothering me lately as I have been presented with much information that has re-cycled in my life; stirring up past emotions and thoughts. One of the most prevalent thoughts I have regarding the multitude of crises we as people are being faced with today is reinforcing the concept of CRITICAL thinking among people. Most of the masses are highly compliant and boxed in to a perpetual routine of stagnancy regarding mental evolution. I truly feel that the poison today is ignorance (highly due to a corrupt system of distorted, misleading brainwashing procedures... let's face it... how often are we bombarded with loads of falsely pre-chewed information spewed out at us via the News or otherwise?)

ANYWAYS... I know that the key to this ignorance is simply the act of questioning.

Thinking independently places one outside the herd. Most people prefer to run with the herd and be accepted than think for themselves.

@visvaldisX Indeed, indeed. Oh how it bothers me so.

There is nothing that has no purpose. Everything has some kind of purpose. Even nazi soldiers had a purpose. I don't mean their purpose was to eliminate jews, rather their purpose was to show us the consequences of such actions. By seeing the results of the holocaust, we can choose to never repeat it.

So my point is, while many things do seem to lack any sort of purpose, purpose is there. You probably just aren't recognizing it.

@goody8504 I agree with you completely, I suppose I should have expanded on that more... I think a lot of what I am referring to is let's say the example of pop. In one perspective it has no purpose and does not serve us but of course yes it's purpose is to tickle our tastebuds, entertain, soothe an addiction, etc. Sometimes I'm just frustrated if ya know what I mean. But indeed all things have a purpose.

I Agree 100% with you. It seems like there are so many uninformed about what is really going on in the world today. :-/

[fl0werchild19]

@ahayner1982 Yeah :( Lots of compliance... maybe it's the fluoride...!

@144jr144 Its funny. I just wrote 2 comments that are based on misperception of your intent.

I removed them, but you might find them in your email adress' mailbox :)

I quit, this is not even worth trying lol... its too darn easy to misunderstand others through text only communication xD

Have a great day brother :)

Well, I'll let you tell that to the dinosaurs... and to the little kids who just got orphaned and are desperately trying to "wake up" their parents. I kill things and eat them (like lemons and oysters). Death does exist. It is a five letter word. But you may never live through it to experience it, so in that sense, perhaps there is nothing to it but a linguistic label.

@144jr144

Nothing goes "extinct", everything and everybody continues living/evolving,

in a diferent frequency/density.....death does not exist,

is just a jump between dreams/realities....

[144jr144]

@rolovolo

Benefit of all? Of all the species that have ever lived on this planet, would you care to guess what percentage now live (have not gone extinct by now)?

@fl0werchild19

I just saw this after posting my other reply. Yes, you display frustration in your video. Now, you know how that feels. The purpose of feeling frustrated is to have that experience. Also, when frustration or distressed, we may share. When we share, some may withdraw from us repulsed in fear and others may attempt to soothe us by interrupting the experience of frustration with their own. I honor the frustration but even moreso the intelligence at its core. Frustration will pass.

[144jr144]

So, you do not see the purposes to many things. You also say "no LEGITIMATE purpose." Consider this: propaganda tells us what is legitimate or not in order to discourage or monopolize certain patterns of behavior (which have purposes that may be labeled as illegitimate or impolite to mention). The purpose of propaganda may be to train us to perceive particular purposes to hide other purposes that are otherwise obvious. By the way, I think you will enjoy my parody videos on my channel (and blog).

Since my eyes where opened I can't walk into a shopping mall anymore without my mind endless scanning the isles and recognizing all the BULLSHIT stuff no one really needs...  Arg :p I want the small grocery stores back, you know, where you actually knew the owner by name.
