jane WHY? 090302

page1 Think for yourself, question authority.
Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority.

hsg because freedom_isn't_free

and if you haven't found freedom in
yourself it cannot be given unto you.

though
it can, be taken piece_by_piece
until you take it back in peace.

the wise neither accept nor reject
that which they do not understand.

jane one assumes an authoritative stance when telling someone they should do something, even if it's to think for themselves, even if it's not the intention.

i'm just giving you a hard time. i don't need anyone to tell me to think for myself; i've been doing it since i can remember.

TCMT Because in order to find yourself you have to doubt what you have been told. In order to discover the why behind your actions and the actions of those around you, you have to have a critical mind. You have to ask questions.

You have to discover your own answers.

debaser question why you question.
and question your answers.

you may want to look up plato's socratic dialogues on matters of authority and questions. some valid points made there.

minnesota_chris how about I just google up some socrates quotes and pretend I read that book. 090906

TCMT so do you question why you question your questions?
Do you question why you question your answers?

The way I see it, there are always deeper and deeper levels of truth brought on by deeper and deeper questions. There isn't a limit and one can go on questioning forever. I think it really comes down to whether an answer suffices for you as an individual.
