I have infinite faith in the irrational characteristics of humans...

And who was it who said, "You'll find more faith among a group of atheists than you will among religious fanatics?"

Dismissive, insolated, isolated, smug BELIEVERS, don't seem to have faith--they seem to have fear-mongering-deeply repressed under their glib smiles and sugary-saccharine-cliched vocabulary.

We hear what they say, but they AND we don't know what they MEAN.

They FEEL they are right and that is enough for them. Believe me I know--I've been there, too.

When you learn to explain to YOURSELF your own logic, and it isn't easy, but once you start to educate yourself and explain to YOURSELF (not me, who am I anyway?) what you are really believing, you'll just feel NEW BRAIN CELLS opening up in your mind. You'll hunger for more truth, for more particular and distinctive words to find color for your thoughts, you'll feel more human and expressive.

Or, not. We'll see.

All the best
