Pride Ego Worst Enemies of Wisdom Common Sense

“It’s better to remain thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt!”

That phrase was indirectly, or directly, aimed in my direction during a 6th grade class by a very wise Southern Gentleman who happened to be my teacher. That was many decades ago and I have never forgotten. There’s no idea if anyone else in that class got the message, as most were content to sit silently, never risking any comment, either positive or negative.

Being rather insecure my comments were usually geared to, in my mind, to make me seem more astute, knowledgable, which was rarely the case. It may be seen as fortunate to have adopted a “conspiracy theorist’s” attitude later on. Therre were ample opportunities to refine that belief.

Our world has been brainwashed to believe that an educational level and money determine intelligence and superiority. That has never been more apparent than during the last few years of 2020 to 2024. It has been observed by a minority as to the truth of this. Where what should be painfully obvious is those with all the paper degrees seem to be lacking a large degree of common sense.

There seems to be a hint as to why things could be so out of whack. A direct connection to the amount of time spent in front of a TV! What better form of hypnosis, or brain-washing machine is there? If the ‘talking-heads’ say it, then it must be true. Why would they lie to us? For the most obvious reason of all…money and power.

Only now are whistleblowers finally admitting the absured amounts of money hospitals and medical professionals recieved for reporting deaths as related to the so-called virus. Funny how no one ever was able to isolate said virus, yet vaccines and any number of remedies were developed without that critical piece of information. A world-wide scam if ever there was one. And no one got the flu or influenza.

As has been pointed out, people missed how the homeless were never impacted by this. Why? The news media, being totally complicit with the scam, never brought this to the public’s attention. Why? Because the Main Stream Media was totally complicit and has been for decades while building up to this event.

As Hannity has pointed out for years, journalism died back around the ’80s. It was then the so-called journalists stoped being unbiased in their writing efforts, becomming shills for whatever their puppet masters wanted, rather than keenly unbiased reporters of just the facts.

Facts became lies actually. Anything other than truth is just that. A lie! The voices of MSM became at best story tellers. Or just paid liars.

Do You Write Because You Can Or Because You Have To?

So was I writing because I could, or because there was this drive that I simply had to write?

In 2011 I had lot’s of time on my hands as I was attempting to recover from some mysterious fevers that had all the Dr.s stumped at the V.A. Hospital.

At the same time I had been working on building a website, and doing a good deal of writing. At some point, I ran across EZine Articles site, and an piece about article marketing caught my attention.

The idea of getting paid to write definitely appealed to me, and it just happened that EZine Articles was sponsoring a contest to write 100 articles in 100 days.

It's in the pot!
It’s in the pot!

About this same time I had come across a company promoting Omega 3 Fish Oil, which I had been purchasing and taking on a daily basis. So being a promoter of healthy living and high on Omega 3 at the time, it seemed like a great topic to write about.

Even though I was a few weeks behind, I figured if I could write 3 articles a day I could make the deadline for the contest with a day or two to spare.

The challenge was taken up and I began doing research to see how many different topics I could write about around this topic.

Now keep in mind I saw this as a challenge, whether I could do it or not. It wasn’t so much that I was 100% convinced about the benefits of Fish Oil in the form of a capsule. I was simply 100% convinced I could write 100 articles and maybe, just maybe, begin selling some writing. THAT was the real challenge. Could my writing earn money?

So was I writing because I could, or because there was this drive that I simply had to write? A great question in light of why I was writing those articles.

Writing is something I have been doing since 3rd grade in school. Stories of heaven and I don’t remember what else were some of my first efforts. Along the way it developed into love notes and eventually pen pal correspondence.

Being an avid reader my vocabulary grew far beyond that of my peers. So there was a wide range of words to draw from because of that reading. Little by little many of those words would find their way into my conversations, leading to ridicule from classmates who had no idea what I was talking about.

There has always been the need to put thoughts on paper. At one point stories of experiences in Ecuador were being provided for my hometown weekly newspaper and that was fun. No editor who had to justify his job by tearing up my reports. 

A difference was noticed between that type of writing and creating the articles based on a challenge. For that I had to write and there’s a huge difference for me compared to writing what seems to come naturally.

For me, I have to write! Writing because I can is something forced. This was just something that rolled out from inside. As spontaneous as thoughts just more directed. And you? Do you write because you can, or because you have to?
