Each day I wake and worry about where our species are heading.
My days are filled with listening to podcasts, radio shows, articles on the human condition. In the background is the sound of the dryer pushing clothes around and around. Sometimes I hear birds chirping or arguing with one another.
But all we have is our ability to judge and as long as we can admit we do not have the key to truth we have the responsibility to work from what appears to be true after we have read and thought about what's happening.
The notion that we cannot know anything is worse for our health than the notion we know everything. We plod along questioning and thinking, comparing headlines with news reports. We have the ability to judge when someone has distorted the truth for their own benefit, but it is just a judgement.
Some of us are better than others but we are not holders of the only truth. Who benefits? We all do.
Every age has its dangers. People like Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated their lives to the greater good even while they are imperfect. Finding truth is the task we all have to do.
