Cirumnavigating  the intellect.

First of all… WTF does this even mean? Wiki defines this as the navigating the mind or world completely. So according to this guy, if you understand someone’s mind completely you will defiantly make thoughts or questions about evolution disappear. I apologize for my French but this guys a frickin’ idiot.

The way I see it is, when we stop thinking about the actual answers to the questions we are asked or ask, we reduce back to what we were taught to believe or what we may have heard. The key to this is not to be blinded by one’s own beliefs and forget about everyone else’s feelings or thoughts that we oppose our own views of them, and if they do not accept those thoughts, we think less of them . No one wants their beliefs assaulted, but we don’t listen well either.  As humans are first thought when someone opposes us is  to make them feel what we feel, by brain washing them or making them sympathize to us. But in today’s world everyone is free and should be able to accept, believe, and preach what they believe, as long as it doesn’t intrude over aggressively or oppressively on the same right of someone else.

Not long ago, a few friends of mine  and I were sitting around a table in a cafeteria watching the Television. The news came on and there was a report about new findings in stem cell research. Not really for or against it I openly said, “ Well that’s dumb. Why even mess with nature in that way, god made people the way they were for a reason, and I don’t believe god wants us to really change what he has a purpose for.” Then one of my friends literally leapt up from her seat and started yelling, “What are you talking about, you have no idea what kinds of great things can be done if only people like you would take a second and understand what it can do for us.” The argument went on and we both were pretty sore afterwards. We didn’t talk to each other for about five months.  About two weeks ago a conversation came up amongst me and my roommate about her. I couldn’t remember what the argument was about exactly I knew just knew she wasn’t talking to me. He explained that she was so upset at my comments and insensitivity because her father is paralyzed and is undergoing tests with stem cell research. I had an ache in my stomach and realized that I had tried to impose my views on someone else and put them down for not accepting.

It just goes  to show you that by not thinking about the possibilities that you may be wrong.  Or you might hurt someone by not having sensitive arguments.  I was not thinking, but I am now, I called her, and explained that I didn’t know about her situation and apologized, everything is good and we are friends once again.
