That being said, we have to wonder just how much we’ve been “tainted” with “nutritionally deficient” information that originated from the biased sources that we had no control over as youngsters by that opinionated relative or misinformed parent that transferred their idiosyncrasies over to us with no resistance or questioning simply because they held a very influential position in our still limited but ever expanding world.
As I often like to say, we are the sum total of all of our experiences and see the world through these very limited “lenses.” We sometimes or rather oftentimes become complacent in never challenging the ability of those lenses to bring us a sense of the overall view of unseen aspects that we tend not to seek out.
This is why it is important that we take responsibility in receiving the information on a multitude of topics, current events and issues so that we can make a fair and balanced judgment on how we as individuals really feel about our particular social concerns.
So the question is, do we receive a complete and full assessment of all news items when we watch the so called major news providers like CNN, Fox News and all of the other spin masters of the conscious and subconscious minds of the masses?
I don’t believe anyone in their right mind would answer “yes” to that question and if they happened to do so that in itself shows how out of touch and disconnected from their naturally innate God given ability to think rationally with a clear mind.
So when I observe someone who may be in possession of a narrow minded stance on an extremely multifaceted and complicated issue to which they have absolutely no personal experience with, then I understand that they have not gotten their information from the “horses mouth” directly.
They’ve most likely absorbed their manufactured and engineered “highly stimulating” offerings from a source that appears to have an authentic credibility and certified authority to report the news but are really a business entity with the corporate interest of making a profit from your ignorance!
