I have felt that way, that everything I think is wrong. And by George, that pitiful mindset now has a national day of its very own.
This is one ‘national day’ that I am not going to fully buy into.
There is a mantra of being open to (hopefully constructive) criticism. That is a good thing. There is a mindset of self-degradation. That is an okay thing. It can even be a charming thing. There is humility in realizing your own lack of knowledge about certain subjects. That is a healthy thing. There is honor in being able to admit you are wrong. That is a great thing.
However, not EVERYTHING we think is wrong.
I believe we have lost confidence in what we know is truth. Perhaps that is because we think truth is elusive. It is not. Truth is founded and grounded and rock solid.
My children know I love them. That is truth. They know it is truth and never, not ever, do they doubt that. Gravity is truth. We can prove it at any moment. Free choice is truth. Consequences are truth. Pizza is good for us, that is truth. Oops, sorry, I got a bit carried away. That last one may not be truth. But everything above it most certainly is.
As a disclaimer, some ways we think are indeed wrong. But, not everything you think is wrong.
My husband would say, no more “namby-pamby” business. Let’s man up and woman up and trust our truths.
I sound like one very bold 60 year old. I’m not always. However, I want to be brave. I want to trust my brain to be right about some things.
This day is dumb. That is my philosophical opinion.
No, that is RIGHT.
