How to Think For Yourself
Is the headline a sensation designed to induce emotion
is the picture carefully designed to present perfection
is the article narrowly focused only on a small part of the whole situation
these are the questions that help us think
what is the other side of the story
does a human really exist without a flaw
can we really learn the truth through one sided propaganda
yes, these are the questions that help us think
who wins if we believe them
who gets the money if we buy into the advertisement
what do they gain for showing us this, what is their intent
why would anyone want to stop us from asking questions that help us think
***
the truth is only a threat to those living a lie
debate is only a threat to those who have a weak position
a man with an honest reputation doesn’t have to force others to believe him
