Error never shows itself in its naked reality, in order not to be discovered. On the contrary, it dresses elegantly, so that the unwary may be led to believe that it is more truthful than truth itself.
but isn't the definition of "stupidity" the rejection of new thoughts? If nobody ever changed anything they believed, we'd all still be thinking the earth is FLAT.
Stupidity is not using the great brain God gave you for thinking. Stupidity is not asking questions and just following the crowd. We often accuse young people of giving in to peer pressure. What about we adults?
Peer pressure can be from the group wanting to push their new ideas. Peer pressure can also be from the group wanting things to always stay the same with them in control as always.
Take time to converse with God and think for yourself. Just because something is new does not make it good or bad.
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
