When we are kept in fear, we cease to reason. We believe everything and examine nothing. Our minds become prisons and we distrust reason. We must never turn our backs on our reasoning powers. We must examine and test everything because reason is a faithful guide. Healthy thoughts rely on reason. To reason about something is to break it down, to inspect it from every angle prior to accepting it, prior to respecting it or prior to dismissing it. Reason helps with gaining good judgement.

No one is going to get far these days unless they think and reason for themselves. It is hard work, but the joy that we discover in reasoning will more than repay us.

BUILD A PROPER FILTER IN YOUR MIND. CHECK AND RECHECK EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE IT’S THE TRUTH. BECOME A GREAT DISCERNER OF INFORMATION. ALWAYS ASK “WHY?”
