Life as we think we know it

Jes' yesterday, I was futzing about on my computer, casually checking out this and that, and it came to me that the world we live in is completely oblivious to everything around us. We are continually bombarded with thousands of ideas, hypothesis, assumptions, and beliefs, but most of us haven't a clue as to what any of them mean or even care to find out what they are indeed about. We're so self-involved that we judge them or believe in them even though we know not what they are. We think life and the world we live in is the way it is simply because that's how it's supposed to be. That way we don't hafta go into things any deeper and accept that there is so much more out there. Much easier, eh?
Here's an example. Two people are walking down the street having a conversation. After a few minutes, the "known" part of the conversation gives way to an "unknown" topic. Rather than try and have a sensible convo, something with depth, a completely new spin on the topic at hand comes about. What was once"unknown", now suddenly becomes "known", and has been piled high with nonsensical drivel. The once unfamiliar topic has now become crystal clear, almost instantly, and filled with deep knowledge and meaning. To these two people, they have taken something unknown to them and made it their sphere of expertise and are now enlightened people, filled with the conviction that what they now know is Gospel. Even though what had come into being is a complete fabrication, to them, it IS reality.
But walking not far behind them is a learned person, Someone who is well read and educated in the particular topic the pair walking right in front of him are discussing with great fervor. He listens in to the convo, shakes his head and thinks to himself, "OMG!!! Are these people for real? They know nothing of which they speak, and yet they believe the shit that's coming out of their mouths is correct." He is saddened by their ignorance and keeps walking. How he would love to teach these two individuals how things really are.
But here's the kicker. Would they care to learn? Prolly not. It's easier to take what we think we know about the world as the truth, even though that may not be the case, rather than actually taking the time to learn the facts.
The truth is people, life needs to be based on fact, not fiction, ignorance or jes' believing something is true because someone told us it was. And especially not by nonsensical convos where the most inane things somehow become "how it is". The quicker the world finds this out, the easier life could become. But we would first hafta take the time and learn a little along the way.
Here's the answer, before you take things at face value, read a book, visit a library, surf the net, and never cease the quest for knowledge. Its all up to you. Is this really life as you know it, or is there something more to it? Happy searching! And for Christ Sakes, know what the hell it is ur talking about before you discredit it! That really pisses me off! LOL! Have a good night and a pleasant tomorrow.
