If steel lacks the characteristics of steel, is it steel?\u00a0 If bread lacks the characteristics of bread, is it bread or something else pretending to be bread?\u00a0 If a full spectrum color palette lacks a color or two, is it full spectrum? There are absolutes that cannot be altered and any attempt at changing what is, results in degradation of perfection (it becomes something less than it can be) or, worse case scenario, a total loss of something that can never be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply that analogy to whatever scenario you want, or you can ignore it and consider it worthless gibberish. However, I would submit, if you consider it babble, you have lost the ability to think for yourself and prefer to allow others to think for you. You accept, without consideration, the opinion of others and are content to do so. If you question anything, it is because someone somewhere told you to; you storm forward, forcefully shouting the questions with little concern for answers that contradict what you have been told to believe.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel, without quiet consideration, or with outrageous indignation, that you do not fall into this category then you probably fall into this category.\u00a0 If you fail to conduct an HONEST assessment and evaluation of who you are on a regular basis, you will fall prey to complacency and will become something less than you are capable of being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question everything. Truth stands up to questions, deceit despises a legitimate question and the people who have the audacity to expect a legitimate answer.\u00a0 If your questions result in anger, then rest assured you have uncovered deceitful behavior.\u00a0 If someone questions you and you get angry, then chances are you are part of the deceit. Don\u2019t be that person; be steel with the characteristics of steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
