If you keep your mind open and listen to someone’s view, you can believe anything.
People on the ‘left’ always seem right, logical, thorough. People on the ‘right’ always seem right, thorough, logical.
Clinging to their views like a cat to its master’s when it’s about to go into a tub.
You second guess yourself.
You figure it out again,
you come up with new points, arguments, philosophies,
you tell yourself that your view is free from the influence of experience,
you tell yourself that you’re not free from the influence of experience, but still must be right.
Like you happened to have fallen out of a womb that landed you into the right time, place, race and class in history.
But have you ever met someone that admits to having the wrong point of view? I have. The person’s name is ___________. The person has asked to remain unidentified but has this to say: The momentum of cause and effect acts on us all, acts within us, acts without us. Don’t listen to me. Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.
