Everybody has some answer to what’s going on, some opinion, some explanation.
Or at least they take a stance and stick with it.
There’s little questioning.
The other day, I was on my village bridge and I was embroiled in a conversation over the potential installation of a Hydro electric facility immediately opposite where I live.
A chap intervened as someone involved in the project and, at one point, mentioned that the team of people he convened with were all ‘fat, white men’ and that the group wasn’t ‘very diverse’.
Ugh! Repugnant but I couldn’t be bothered to argue, not the time nor the place. He believes that by installing ‘renewables’ including solar panels on his house, ‘disapproving’ of gas and being ethnically masochistic/suicidal that he’ll get his brownie points and social status.
No thought, no questioning, it’s a thin way to live. Never just believe something because someone else says it.
What I am pursuing right now is bringing together all the wisdom and courage that I’ve developed. It’s satisfying, yet a slow process. It’s down to doing your own thinking, trusting yourself and listening out for the truth.
