Forever Tentative

A theory is only useful for research. You don't have to accept a position as being final- you are there to criticize it and find what is wrong.
When someone suggest what you should believe, you are welcome to change your mind about what is proposed. So they say, you need to do this, yes, there is validity in their argument, but you ultimately have to make the choice.
Today while we discussed Psychology- I thought about the theories that were being proposed and the way that our culture has learned to think. We are often told what to think- that is after all what school is all about.
But as we talked, I thought how much things have changed. The world was flat, then the world was round. Did we evolve or did we just appear? Anaximander said that things change over time- he thought we came from Fish. Some say we evolved from monkeys. Basically time is nothing but change.
After discussing this thought with Dr. Burr this last week. I am convinced that we are unable to make a good choice. We cannot know what will change in the future. I picked a major and then the economy changed and now there are no job offerings at all. If you make a choice in trusting a person, you never know what they will change to. If you can live with the changes, good or bad- then you are capable to make the choice. We never know what to expect. We could start with everything and end with nothing, or start with nothing and find everything.
Life is a choice. Life is based on your choices and is largely affected by other's choices. We are capable of making only our own choices. Our world can be constant if we so choose, but there is no way to make sure that we are making choices that will keep our lives stable.
We are taught wrong. There is no good choice, there is only hope in the choice.
If none of this makes sense, I understand. But think about your life, you make the choices, but things act on us all the time. We cannot know what will come, we cannot stop what should stay away. The only way to be sure, is trusting in ourselves. We need to know ourselves, know our mind and desire- then your choice will be right and good.
My choices are final. My choices are resolved and unchanged. That is one thing about me- choosing to trust in me proves to show that I will try to change only when it suits me. I will do what is right and ignore all other changes. I move forward, not backward. The moves I make are my choice and are seen before they happen.
