Clean-up in Aisle 7
There are so many times we cling to things we've accumulated over the years in hopes they may become useful at some point. Boxes, matchbooks, clothes, books, etc. The list goes on. But have you ever considered ideas and beliefs to be in the same category as the materialistic stuff? Really, if you look at what you have gathered over the years, are there not some questionable items there? From time to time, we need to examine and reevaluate what we say we believe, as well as the concepts that we once held dear. Knowledge and wisdom come and go, and the Truth remains. I've always felt growth comes through learning, and learning is stimulated by questioning. If we stop asking, then the knowledge we acquire will become random instead of focused when we have a purpose for learning. There is nothing wrong with collecting random items, but if we inquire about ideas, then the new information will fit nicely into what we desire to know. Also, there is the serendipitous stuff that comes along, surprising us and enhancing what we already know, and even replacing faulty thinking. Question everything from time to time, and the Real Truth will prevail.
