Examining or Questioning the Thoughts

[crisipicada]

"It is a humiliating fact that most thought is produced by the outside suggestions of others, and it is more humiliating, still, to have to admit that the majority of us accept this suggestion without either examining it or questioning its soundness. We read the daily papers as though every word were based upon fact. We are swayed by the gossip and idle chatter of others as though every word were true."

[crisipicada]

I have the tendency to be aloft or try to refrain conversation especially when I am criticize. I lack the nerve to explain my self or my position because I do not want to have conflict or misunderstanding. However, I realize that we need to examine and question thoughts as to its truth to attain truth in itself with self control and poise.
