i agree with both of you (uh oh, red flag :) - the truth is in the middle, and the truth is in our hearts and thinking minds. that is, unless i'm wrong.

I always love your quotes, even if I disagree a little with some of them. For example, I doubt that what the media feeds me is anything but a sensational amusing diversion from what really is happening. I switch back and forth from business news channels. One tells me to BUY and the other tells me the end is near and to SELL. Given that, I believe little beyond basic facts.

Korzybski tells us to think for ourselves. So did Buddha, when he said, "believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it. not even if i have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." Same thought? or not?
