Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth – more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habits; thought is anarchic and lawless, indifferent to authority, careless of the well-tried wisdom of the ages. Thought looks into the pit of hell and is not afraid. It sees man, a feeble speck, surrounded by unfathomable depths of silence; yet it bears itself proudly, as unmoved as if it were lord of the universe. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man. - - - Bertrand Russell
Well, as with me, an atheist, and a high school expelled student, down through the years, I have managed to publish many of my own rational thoughts to provoke the irrational thoughts of others. How do I know my thoughts are rational - they are the products of critical thinking; indeed, critical analysis; and nothing whatsoever to do with silly believing under mental paralysis.
My rare and precious thoughts are products of self-education; not products of a sick or imposed indoctrination. - - - Poch Suzara
