[My] Life in Wisconsin

"Lost" in Think...


G
ood Morning All;
I hope all is well in your little corner of reality.
I know I am way far behind- I promise to try to keep up better. I have had the need to be more involved at the pancreatitis group that I am part of. I shall post a note about that after this...


I found this within an email from About.com.


Quote of the week:

"The search for the truth is an important search, and if it isn't, we're lost in all kinds of ways.
  • We're lost in the fields of Holocaust denial.

  • We're lost in being able to compare what is good and what is bad because we can't agree what actually happened.

  • We're lost when it comes to guarding minorities against populist agitation.

Nobody's going to die from saying Shakespeare wasn't Shakespeare, but in other areas, when the truth suffers, our [own] decision making suffers.

When there is no authority to the truth, prejudices thrive.
"
D. Aaronovitch

I understand the quotation.
What I don't understand is why it had to be penned in the first place.


What do you think?
-Are we truly that prejudiced against our fellow human beings?
-Are we that narrow?
-Are we that stupid?
-Are we that blind?
-Are we that cold?
-What else may have suffered along the way?
-Whom has suffered?
-When will it [ever?] be enough?

I believe your answers may make my heart sad.


Have a 'wunnaful' day
Love to all.

XOXO
Me
