    What is your favorite quote?

    One of my all-time favorite books is it’s a Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan.

    In this book he explores much of the thinking behind a cult, and various conspiracy theories. The following quote has great relevancy today. This book came out in the 1990s and his quote still rings true today.

    One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” [1]

    My Reasons For Writing This

    Do you think everything happens for a reason?

    I think the saying everything happens for a reason is something we repeat out of habit, without giving it much thought.

    Certainly, some things happen for a reason, but once you introduced the word, every thing it is almost impossible to prove.

    Use of the word, everything is certainly hyperbolic.

    Many people have strong faith in a higher power and I understand that. When the coyote gets hit on the head with an anvil, it’s pretty much that the world is random and out of order.

    Oh yes, one reason the coyotes is not that smart pr the roadrunner is Herculean strong

    There is not always a reason for anything. and the coyotes scenario it’s obvious that that there could be many reasons or reason at all.

    I don’t know why I wrote this and an hour from now I probably will have a completely different answer.  There is no rhyme or reason.

    And who says it has to rhyme.
