Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. Anything can go in, run rampant, riot, then exit out as if nothing had happened. Anything can be taken, or given, and the benefits and consequences differ depending upon the situation. What I do is I stay open to things that benefit me and others, but keep myself closed off to that which would hurt me. This is as simple as ignoring something that is there, pretending it isn't.

Thus, knowledge is gained. In any situation, you can absorb information to your benefit. By analyzing what is good and deciphering what is bad, you better yourself and are more prepared for the unknown. Trial and error, multiple questionnaires, second guessing, check and revise, compare and contrast, the many scholar ways to look at a normal problem works just as well on the bigger ones. It's all easy, making everything easy. Literally everything. It's our human element that pulls us down, our drive makes things impossible or hard or complex. No ethereal creature, no make-believe being, nor any other creature has our nature and our way. (That way being that we can adapt to anything we are set in, and we can solve many things through sheer determination)

It's a long way to understanding why there is such problem, but most of the time it's still really simple. We just need to figure things out as we go along so that only benefits roll in our favor. And for this journal, that is that.
