What do we really know to be true?

We go to school for 15 years maybe longer and are told a lot of stuff, we read books, we read information online, we listen to others.

How much of what we read or hear do we know is really so?

Can we 100% say that something is true or not?

By questioning things, we may not end up changing our view of something, but at least we might discover some interesting alternative perspectives.

Nothing is ever cast iron true.

There are many shades to everything.

The hand we are dealt

We currently hold the hand we were dealt.

Well strictly speaking that is only true at the beginning, when we are born.

After that, less so as children, but as adults, we get to choose it all.

We can either pick up the next card from the deck in exchange for one in our hand, we could swap with another player, we could fold and start again.

The rules are the ones we make and the limits are only the ones we impose or we allow others to impose.

The cards are the ones we choose to hold, always.

If you don’t like the hand, change it, otherwise stop complaining and play with the one you have.
