Why Your Dumbass Should Be Reading Books And Not TV!
Have you noticed something strange going on with people today?
You see it everywhere and it’s not only affecting a certain sex or even certain social groups. No this event has affected much of everyone around us.
This issue is not new but has been around for a very, very long time and with technological advances it seems to be more and more visible now than before. But why! Why is this issue so profound these days?
With Smartphones and Tablets everywhere why do we still have stupid or even worse ignorant people running around these days. It’s like the further we become as a species to becoming more intelligent the more stupid we become.
With so much information out there to access with ease and yet we still go about our lives ignorant and stupid! You have people supporting politicians and political agendas that they themselves have no clue! They just follow because it’s the thing to do.
You have many younger adults willing to give up Freedom for a more mild version of Communism because they believe in equality of the people. Instead of following the latest trend or idea your Dumbass should be reading books and making up your own ideas and opinions.
Throughout my life I have read many different books from Mechanics to Politics and political ideas and opinions. Because of reading many books my view of life tends to be different than anyone else’s view. Because of this I tend to ask many questions and have learned to see ideas and opinions without getting emotional and angry with others.
When your Dumbass reads you will begin to see patterns. Things that you never noticed before start showing up as if you all of a sudden have become aware. You do not have to believe me as many other people who have read many books will say the same thing. The more you read the more profound those patterns become. At first you will try your hardest to convince people about what you have learned from reading a book or books only to find yourself being called a “Hack” or some kind of Conspiracy Theorist.
The other day me and my Wife were in the bedroom chilling watching some National Geographic a program called The Story Of God. Now I’m not much of a religious person and program showed how many different cultures tend to view God. Morgan Freeman travels around the world to see how and why cultures view God so differently. It was an interesting show and since it’s a miniseries the next episode will be on Sunday.
You know after I watched it I remember asking my Wife what she thought about it? She looked at me and told me that she has so many questions about what she saw. I told her that she should question it as its a sign of a thinking mind. She knew that but then she told that she remembers how those religious people would say that we should never question Gods Law. If God never wanted you to think and question things then he might as well left us as Apes and not make us into his image.
You have to question not just religion but everything else we Humans have. Those who do not question anything and just follow orders is no better than a Slave. When you read books you are exposed to many ideas. Ideas that no MSM would dare to talk about as it might so called offend the politically correct.
Life is in constant motion and there is no safe spot to just sit and rot! Your Brain was built to think and not stagnate.
Understand how money works, understand how corporations are formed, learn about the many religious or political ideas, learn about nature and the many things it can do for man. So many things you can learn! In life you should be constantly learning and exposing yourself to new ideas and opinions. You research it and see if you agree with them and if you don’t at least you will be able to defend yourself if the conversation comes up.
The most powerful weapon in the world is not a Gun or a Tank! But a book and a pen. Those two together have brought civilizations through great opportunities as well as destroy them. Still the power is so simple that we ignore it because it’s just a book and pen. My wife said to me once that I’m full of useless information. Yet she always comes and ask me about whatever and usually I’m able to answer them so that she could understand.
Reading to me is my fire! I enjoy it because I feel my mind is becoming more open to everything ore aware of my surroundings.
Why does History continue to repeat itself time and time again? Because the majority of the people are not fully read so they are doomed to constantly repeat the cycle over and over again.
No college degree can prepare you for your life unless you continue to self knowledge. In the end books are important back then and even now. Which is why your Dumbass should be reading books and not watching TV What do you think?
