A LIFE OF MYSTERY

CHANGE IS UPON US

Not sure where, if anywhere, this might go. As usual, I discover what I have to say when it is said.

First thought, we have quite a community here of searchers for Truth. We interact searching for the right words, and find ourselves repeating ourselves and each other.

Should we be cautious of incestuous intellectualism? I just made up that term, but I of course think its a good one.

As I think on it, no, I think, apart from me, we have too many very intelligent and independent thinkers here for that to be too much of a risk, although we might do well to keep it in mind.

I write to all you who are better thinkers than I.

We of course enjoy hearing people agree with us. I also enjoy hearing someone take a different perspective from mine. That presents an opportunity to learn.

I find I do a lot of opinionating (another word I just coined: “One who who is in the process of being opinionated”) and ask few questions. I’m not the only one.

Why is this? Is it because I think I know it all? No. I do not “know it all”. That is the principal reason for this article. I need help from our wisest members.

So where are my questions? Everywhere. Every opinion I state really could be couched in terms of a question, including this one.

I ask any readers I have to help me with this. Read my many opinions as if they are questions, and share your answers…
