Perhaps the reason we are so gullible is because we've forgotten how to play and be real and we've forgotten how to appreciate our elders - because too many of us are so busy focussing on our own personal greed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871239587214383387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29705116.post-82214766238359904742007-10-21T23:30:00.000-05:002007-10-21T23:30:00.000-05:00Hi Pi,Whether the non-comprehension of the young c...Hi Pi,<BR/>Whether the non-comprehension of the young comes from inexperience or the total distraction from contemplation the load of homework they're handed by civilization is to such comprehension is a quite arguable point. Besides, they have to learn to speak the language of the authority for it to understand they know better. That takes lifetimes sometimes.<BR/><BR/>K:)) takes one to know one, and we have always been. One. That is. (;°}<BR/>I sometimes wonder if our gullibility is a flaw. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt knowing how much we, ourselves, are changed by daily experience seems to be a virtue. The flaw lies with those who would take advantage of our faith in mankind with lies. Six believers and a half-dozen liars walk into a bar … and establish a cult, culture, civilization.<BR/><BR/>Amberliscious, If anyone should understand justified apostasy it would be a preachers daughter.
