What makes the process of recovery singularly difficult is that you must hold your spiritual ground against hostile forces which seek to hide and even nullify their very existence. The disheartening expansion of trained ignorance and incorrect thinking involves power struggles that can be seen or unseen, and can be obnoxiously unpleasant at times. I am, however, forced to pick up on these endless variations of disrespect as nothing at all new in the fiery posturing of these agitations. Often we must courteously listen with disinterested attention in order to validate the other person and their seemingly useless viewpoint.
My myriad thought processes are derived from what is called meta-analysis, which can also be referred to as a quantitative and qualitative synthesis of studies. I have learned though that deep thinking creates isolation, but does not a bit of detachment from his audience allow a philosopher to think freely? Through much toil, I have gained theoretical posturing which is not arbitrary, but rather is my source of optimism, potential, and hope. It is important to understand that potential points beyond itself, and accordingly this is the source of hope.
I do recognize we are subject to many temptations, not the least of which is vanity. But despite every effort to pervert my way of thinking, I will resist the easy answers. I shall continue forward against all odds and accomplish what others view as rubbish but what I recognize as a fuller and more complete life. Historically speaking, men who always think they are right have led to wars, slavery, persecutions, racism, chauvinism… and even today we are not free from its gravitational attraction. So all in all, I shall remain humble and teachable, and I urge others to do the same.
