On reflection, there are things we know and then there are things we don’t. The big question is, how do we know the things we know?
Colours.
All colours are interesting. How did we learn about them? Was it via a parent, a school teacher, a book or something else?
Basically, we were told that things were certain colours. Most of the time, we would just accept what we were told. It was the trust that was built between us and the describer. Most likely, due to lack of, shall we say, experience, we agreed.
Carrots.
Think about this – Purple carrots! What do you think? Would you eat them? You do realise that they are now available to buy. What is your reaction? It goes against what you were most likely taught.
How do you deal with this? Don’t buy them! Or rant and rave about their colour or do you just accept? After all, they are just carrots or are they?
Curves.
Every now and then we get a “curve” ball. It is how we deal with it to get some type of result… We will, of course, question ourselves about the result usually because that’s what we do – we need actual proof that what we found is right. Why do we do this, especially as an adult? When we were growing up or in the early stages of our learning we just accepted. Why do we now not do that anymore?
From my experience, it’s about learning values, right from wrong (whatever that may be) and dare I say – religion and political stance.
How many times have you seen this sign?
=== WET PAINT ===
You just saw the painter, painting. You saw them paint the sign….
How many of you do a test on the sign or what it is attached to?
ACCEPT
TEST
Make a Comment!
What is it that you know that others don’t? Do make a comment, please, as they are appreciated. Do not be afraid… Seems some are!
What do you think you have discovered that others haven’t? Again, make a comment, it is appreciated. Do not be afraid… Seems some are! (BTW, You are NOT seeing double!)
Same!
Do you think you are better, the same or not worthy to others? Why do you pick the same? We are all different. We all come from different backgrounds, learning experiences and behaviours. Yet we are the same…
Think about your life, those who came before you and those who will come along in the future. Will they accept or test?
PONDER ON THAT…
This is a breakaway from my usual tie into family research.
