Being open-minded means being willing to consider new ideas or information, even if they challenge our existing beliefs. However, this doesn’t mean blindly accepting everything we hear or read without question. Skepticism is also important in evaluating truth, as it helps us avoid falling for misinformation or propaganda.
It is possible to strike a balance between being open-minded and skeptical by approaching new information with curiosity and a willingness to learn, while also critically analyzing it for accuracy and credibility. Evaluating truth is not always easy but it’s an essential part of living in the modern world.
By using reliable sources, honing critical thinking skills, fact-checking techniques, identifying biases and assumptions, and avoiding logical fallacies we can be confident in the accuracy of what we believe. Ultimately, though, questioning everything with a curious but skeptical mindset is key to finding truth in today’s world where lies are so prevalent that discovering the truth requires equal parts analysis and intuition.
We are only as blind as we want to be! Maya Angelou
A lie does not become the truth, wrong does not right and evil doesn’t become good, just because it is accepted by a majority.
I believe in evidence, I believe in observation, measurements, and reasoning, confirmed by independent observers. I will believe anything, no matter how wild and ridiculous, if there is evidence for it. The wilder and more ridiculous something is, however, the firmer and more solid the evidence will have to be.
I can never know what the reasons are behind things as only the ones that are a part of it can know that and even then they can only guess what others reasons are.
If I was not there in today’s reality you can never be sure, But you can look at words vs results and measure to get some ideas.

Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance.
The truth is still the truth; Even if you don’t believe it, Even if you ignore it, even if you hate it, even if you won’t listen to it, even if you make it a crime.
Some people will only love you as long as you fit in their box. Don’t be afraid to disappoint.
In life, it’s important to know when to stop arguing with people, and simply let the be wrong.
Definition of Stupid: Knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies.
Truth doesn’t come with a refill. Once it’s gone you probably won’t get it back. & if you do; it will never be the same That’s a fact!
Remember they cheated because they wanted to, they lied because they could, and now they’re sorry because they got caught. It’s always done nothing to cause or deserve it.
Two things I can’t stand: 1. A liar,2. A liar gets mad when you don’t believe the lies they are telling you.

Never base your life decisions on advice from people who do not have to deal with the results.
Truth is always truth and everyone can see it by looking at the data and evidence. Each of us has different tools to find the truth but when all the data and evidence are seen, the truth will be seen by all. We cannot know the motivation in someone’s mind but we can see the actual evidence in the results. Words are tools many use to distract us only if we allow them to say things that cannot be proven with date.
