Gaps..

in eduaction.. or in thinking.. or.. in.. giving a stop to a sentence somebody said.. a politian, or a friend and chew it for a while.. for a while till you will not only accept the thought of somebody else, but you will think what it means. there are moments when we read an article, or a book and we found ourselves eating the words, soaking them in our brain and taking them as they are sooo obvious, as they would be the truth. of course, it is partly because we read topics which are close to our human nature (some might like articles about economy, some about philosophy and some about physics or nature sciences).. but even when we read such article or a book from a well known (and respected) author, we should not give ourselves too much into the thought. why? because then we are like a puppet, like a human being easy to be dragged from one corner to other.. like a robot which is programmed in a way and it only depeds which "software" we load in. therefore (and I assume you know where I am going in this thought) we should read/listen/see but give a stop to that "picture", "idea" and turn it around, once, twice.. for critics. Please, thats not a negative thing.. this critic. that critic. those critics. What I mean by critics, is a simple excercise.. a way we think about any idea as not being "clear", "accepted", "taken as our own and therefore for granted".. e.g. we should not simply accept any idea for granted as we are taking for granted the way we walk.. that we walk and we do not think about that at all.. because we do it for a looong time.. and then when we start to think about walking.. one leg.. other leg.. doing steps.. we see it is not so easy (many muscles, bones involved... and .. no thinking.. thats what we "feel" like we can walk without thinking) so next time you have "anything" in a form of an idea (thought) please do not simply soak it.. but do.. criticize that idea and thought only for the sake of God when somebody will ask you why do you stand behind this idea you will have the arguments ready.. because taking in the ideas you do not think about is like eating a food you do not know anything about.
