Just thinking aloud.....

Where do I go from here? I have been writing this blog and I know that it is being read. I have been sharing on my reflections on many situations from my perspective. I have wanted to be open and candid yet have often retreated into my shell. So often we hide our innermost feelings because we are afraid of becoming hurt or being misunderstood. This self-censorship makes us guarded and reticent about being truly open.

I have become somewhat cynical and wary and do quite a lot of thinking about the issues that are before us. Just scratching the surface or as somebody once said, skimming the headlines, contributes to generalisations and half-truths That is why we have to keep on questioning and fully investigating. We need access to a much wider field of information and expertise rather than the blind acceptance of a single source of information. We need to exercise closer scrutinity and not to take things at face value.

What do you think?
