Don't
ever let anyone tell you that you can't question and explore your
world. I used to think it wrong to question things; it would make
people uncomfortable, it would mean I was not getting it when everyone
else did, it would mean that I lacked faith, it would mean that people
might be offended because some questions were considered
inappropriate... Good people took other good people's words as the way
it is. Don't test the thickness of the ice you're walking on if you
were told it's thick enough. Don't question it further.
It's
considered disrespectful or a form of rebellion to study things our for
yourself, to notice inconsistencies and ask about them, to search on
your own. Sometimes stories were told about that; curiosity killed the
cat, don't stray off the path handed to you or you will get get lost;
asking too many questions means you have a learning problem; or even
asking too many questions makes you a smart-alack.
You were
given a heart and a mind for reason. You are here to explore your soul,
to explore your world, to determine what works for you, and what does
not... to determine if what everyone believes is even true for you. You
are here to to explore your truth! You are here to test, to question
and learn of your own path. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you
can't question and explore your world. ♥
