To believe is to not know. To believe is to pretend to know.
When children pretend we call it play. When adults pretend we call it government and religion.
It is a weak mind that accepts the word of another as law over them. It is a weak and dangerous mind that accepts the word of another as law over them, then applies that law to all others.
And yet, is not all government, all religion, based on exactly this?
I grew up on a small family farm, went to college to get my Bachelor's in Computer Science, only to end up driving an 18-wheeled vehicle for a living. That gives me an interesting perspective on everyday life.
I am not sure why I feel the need to share that perspective with everyone, but here I am on Minds.
