Being a skeptic?

Oh, here we go again…another skeptic who’s a self proclaimed expert. Well, to make it clear, I am not. Neither do I have the authority to refute anything.
I am not a skeptic because skeptics are morons who held back their belief in wait for that single earthshaking proof. The difference is that I hold no such reservation. I am a believer. I believe either that it is so or it is not. End of question.

It is the teetering back and forth on the path of uncertainty that is so undignified.
Perhaps the reasons for my belief are not enough; perhaps the reasons are highly questionable—contestable, whatever… I latch on to my beliefs as the pillar of my life, a principle that is set as the bastion against uncertainties in life.
Then there are those who scream: “What truth?! There is everything out there, everything BUT the truth!!!”

There’s a good reason for you to be open minded.
Open minded is not to be held as the usual definition that you should be ready to consider or accept new ideas, no—NEVER! That would be wrong! Open minded is being ready to listen and never quick to judge or react against it. Let the ideas brew in your mind before you decide on the course of action or come to a decision.
To consider or even accepting new ideas are often a momentous effort for anyone with an uncluttered mind but try not to show that you are a bigot, at least not openly.
