Pride & Self: The Power of Skepticism

One of the most useful tools that is available to all of us, free of cost, is skepticism. And yet, we are often not skeptical enough about what we see, or think we see, and hear. We run hastily with allegations and we accept lies and half-truths as if they were the gospel. When we fail to be skeptical we leave ourselves wide open to manipulation and we are at risk of being labeled gullible.

Every day the media feed us stories that are often incomplete or not yet fully determined. But this does not prevent most people from making up their minds about what they hear. What's the hurry? Why can't we just wait for all the facts and to see whether or not the allegations that have been made or the rumors that are being peddled are true? It is a sorry human condition; that we are so quick to judge and so eager to believe everything that we hear.

Think carefully on these things and start being skeptical about most if not all things. Patiently wait for the facts and don't accept things as being true simply because you hear it on the radio or see it on the television. These days there are many people in the media who are just too busy with their lives to spend the time to get the story right. We live in a world of lies and deception and when you least expect it that just may be the very moment that you are being led astray by someone or something that has some motive that is unknown to you.

Don't be a victim. Don't devalue yourself. Practicing skepticism in moderation is a good healthy habit.
