I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.-Wilson Mizner
I want to
ask You. This quote made me realize doubting, not knowing and asking will bring
you a lot more than all that knowledge, and that knowing exactly how things
are. And I think that fundamentalists are doing this. They are too fascinated
by knowing exactly how everything is and by boxing others ears with a book, how
sad can you get it.
Would You
like to comment on this quote?
My son, I would love to.
This quote says doubt is contributing more to
education than faith does.And in a sense this is true.
Will all good religious books and all websites and also this blogs be thrown away? Let's not do that. Because this all can help if someone is doubting or is looking for answers.
But ...... .it would be very nice, if someone
somewhere has found an answer, he will realize very, very, very well that it
really is only his answer in his life. And further on are his answers completely worthless for another. For another
might need different answers, and is perhaps asking other questions.
So the key of this saying is: be open, ask
questions, doubt, and if you have found an inspiring answer, that's really just
your truth, and nothing but interesting for you. And your answer is only
interesting for another, if he has the same questions and really tends to find
interesting the same answers. That’s it, that’s it. You can not force another
to the same questions, and certainly not to the same answers. That is the
epitome of spiritual primitiveness, so to speak spiritual behaviour of apes.
Wilson Mizner is therefore very blessed for this
saying.My blessings to you all
