In my experience, the most staunchly held views are based on ignorance or accepted dogma, not carefully considered accumulations of facts. the more you expose the intricacies and realtities of the situation, the less clear-cut things become.

More From Mary Roach

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

Facts are neutral until human beings add their own meaning to those facts. people make their decisions based on what the facts mean to them, not on the facts themselves. the meaning they add to facts depends on their current story … facts are not terribly useful to influencing others. people don’t need new facts—they need a new story.

Ignorance is not bliss. ignorance is poverty. ignorance is devastation. ignorance is tragedy. and ignorance is illness. it all stems from ignorance.

What we have in the bush team is a faith-based administration. it launched a faith-based war in iraq, on the basis of faith-based intelligence, with a faith-based plan for iraqi reconstruction, supported by faith-based tax cuts to generate faith-based revenues.

What are the facts? again and again and again – what are the facts? shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget what “the stars foretell,” avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable “verdict of history” – what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? you pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. get the facts!

Our individuality is all, all, that we have. there are those who barter it for security, those who repress it for what they believe is the betterment of the whole society, but blessed in the twinkle of the morning star is the one who nurtures it and rides it in, in grace and love and wit, from peculiar station to peculiar station along life's bittersweet route.

When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered myth exposed and pain magnified, the grace pays uncovered he told me to be strong, but i confused to see it so weak you say never to give up, and it hurts to see what comes to be when your hero falls soley the stars, and so does the reception of tomorrow without my hero, theres only me alone, to deal with my sorrow your heart ceases to work, and your soul is not happy at all what are you expected to do, when your only hero falls

Do you know what the title was of the pope, which ought to be used? servant of the servants of god. it's a little different from the stars. stars are beautiful to look at. i like to look at them in the summer when the sky is clear. but the pope must be, must be the servant of the servants of god.
