Seeking Truth

I’ve posting about my opinions and how I like truth. Facts and having the correct information is something that I hold dear.

To be frank, if I say or post something that questions a foundation of your belief, instead of criticizing me, please do your research. Don’t base it of tradition or one source.

When doing my research, I try my best to seek out more than just one “opinion”. For example, if I’m planning a trip, besides just trusting what a hotel’s self rating is, I’ll look for others' opinions on their visit. If I can, I’ll even go so far to see if I can contact someone to see how their stay was. If I was to attend a big event like the National Quartet Convention, I’d do more than just trust what the promoter has to offer. I want to know from someone who has experienced the stay. I’ll look for recommendations, comments, and stories…. both good and bad.

I’m often confused why so many will take one person’s word as fact without looking to see if what they say is true or not. They simply believe and base so much on that one person. Just because someone has been placed in authority, or has great ideas, do your research! Please… You’ll learn so much if you do a little questioning. It’s okay!

If no one questioned things, we wouldn’t have the things we live by today. Think electricity. Or something basic of the rubber (do a study on Charles Goodyear). If it wasn’t for the search for better trade routes, there wouldn’t have been a “discovery” of the Americas.

Do you seek truth?
