When core beliefs or skepticisms are proven wrong or otherwise discovered to be so, it shakes one's reality. That is the affect on me. It is a weird kind of feeling. Like a shock and your body slams a jolt of adrenalin in there.
I realize that I have a totally different view of life than I did even three or four years ago; what matters, things like that. It is freaking me out because it nullifies almost everything about me, by my reckoning.
So, I have to find ways to defeat that thinking. And feeling. I believe all that. Maybe I should assume that there is a reason for all my complete acceptance of misinformation and insistence upon insane judgment calls. It is a very haunting sensation that tends to last far too long.
Oh forget that!
What amazes me about humans is how much technological progress they have made. In truth, sociological, too, though we tend to revert. But our species has managed to create some fairly clean and functional cities, and comfort which is only had by tricking and bending nature. Protecting ourselves from its whims and bugs.
What has happened in only a few lifetimes is remarkable. The cumulative effect from the efforts of many independent creators, mostly not even aware of one another.
I need to stop and ponder. Best course of action is almost always obvious, just not always the most convenient. Even so, why would anyone have a reflexive aversion to saving himself certain pain and remorse? There is no reasonable reason, so let's just not consider that an option. Any more.

Can't make comments any easier, I don't think. People are having trouble--google tries to kidnap them. I'll loosen up one more thing and let's see. Please give it a try
