Question EVERYTHING

I am asking why.

Why do we believe in the things we believe? Is it because we know in our hearts it is true and right and just? Or is it that we blindly follow what we are/were taught? Or do we just do what everyone else is doing?

Have you ever questioned all of your thoughts and beliefs? Even some of them? I think we all should question everything.

Our culture, our environment, our social-economic situations, our location, our weather, our past, our heritage, our parents, our teaches, our peers all play a part in our social norms and our belief systems.

What works for people in the United States does not always work for people in other parts of the World. What works for them does not always work for us. What works for people in Wyoming does not work for those in New York or Florida or even Wyoming’s neighbors Nebraska or Colorado.

So who is right and who is wrong? Both? Neither?

If you question your beliefs, really take a good close deep down objective look, what will you find? Perhaps you already have and if not perhaps you should. Go beyond that tired old attitude of “because that is the way it is” and find what is in your heart. Find what is truth and not just because you were told so. The worse that can happen is you will find you have been blindly living a lie. In which case, you will spend some time in confusion and resentment and then find a better way. Or, you will find it was right all along and best for you and only serve to strengthen your resolve. In either case, you will become a better person.
