The Facts Are Out In Front Of You
First, let me say that if there are people that disagree with me about the following, please reply.
Second, make note of what you have for information you want to present in regards to your disagreements.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First, what is 'reality'? Defined by the dictionary, it means, 'the quality or fact of being real'. What's the most popular type of television shows out there today? 'REALITY' shows. What's so 'real' about those shows? Nothing. If you have a camera in front of your face and it's semi-scripted, it's NOT 'real'.
Second, what's the opposite of 'reality'? That would be 'fantasy'. The definition is "an illusion or reverie".
I make this preface for one very simple reason. The more you know, the better off you are. To get to the first point that I want to make I will say this: People will claim a lot things, mostly out of their own ignorance, without proof to back up what they say. Very few people I know, that I have talked to in the years that I've been a student of life and history, has come to me and has ever proved to me they know what they are talking about. Do they have to? Yes. Why? Well, imagine for a moment you're back in school and the math teacher asked you a question concerning the problem on the board. You answer the teacher and they say, "Come up here and show your work on the board." Why do you think they ask you to do that? Because they want to know how you arrived at the answer. You go up to the board, examine the formula or problem and you solve it. Chances are you would have already solved the problem in your head. Now you have to 'prove your concept' of what the problem is. Right? Well, it's the same with me. I have been confronted by people that tell me I'm wrong. Well . . . and pardon me for saying this . . . but . . . ENOUGH!!!! If you believe I am wrong, or you disagree with me on any subject we are discussing, and you continue to claim I'm wrong or that my sources are wrong, the only thing you have to do is a) prove yourself right and, b) prove me wrong.
The second point I want to make this is. (I'll make it simple to understand)
I have information that I find, from various sources, both positive and negative, that I use to put into my posts on here or on Facebook. I will tell you that 95 to 99.9 percent of the people that read my post NEVER take my information and do the research on what I post, nor do they spend the time to find the information themselves to either prove or disprove the information put forth. All they want to do is call me names, tell me I'm wrong and basically show me just how ignorant of the information they truly are.
What people give, in terms of examinations and criticisms, is one thing. To be childish and call people names is solely based on the lack of information one has to present a contrary view. It's pretty much at a point of perspective where people will SEE WHAT THEY WANT . . . understand and believe WHAT THEY WANT . . . and resort to 'name calling' and sheer disrespect of the other person or what they believe because it's what THEY WANT TO DO. So, in regards to their own view of what is 'real' to them, others reside in complete darkness, intellectually speaking. The subjects are presented, in simple terms, and the FACTS are presented. To find information that contradicts what I present should be your goal. If you insist on calling me names, replying in ways that just makes 'waves' or causes the subject NOT be answered, than, honestly, you are wasting my time.
It is my goal to present information, comment on that information and give the sources for the information I present. What do you have in regards to anything contrary to what I present? Nothing? Then, again, don't waste my time. If you have information you want to present, please do. I'm sure we'll have a lively debate and discussion about it.
Comments? Questions? Anything on your part you want to contribute to this discussion? Reply. Thanks.
