An Introduction: Why I Blog What I Blog

Consistency isn't my strong suit. My ideas run through my head faster than I can finish their predecessors. My desk is cluttered with thousands of notes and unfinished ideas. Who know, perhaps this blog will be added to the expansive to do list that never seems to have anything marked off on it. Regardless, this is my new project. A project in which I take all those mental notes and pigeon scratch entries, from one of many notebooks, and finish the thoughts there.

I have been encouraged several times by many wonderful people in my life to write a blog. Assumably it will help clear my mind and give me something productive to do. Along the way I hope it inspires others to think and write as well as solidifies my ever earnest pusuit of truth. 

There are countless resources outh their, all ensuring you that their ideals are the way to live your life. Some in the name of positivity, negate rationality. The opposite side ignores human emotion and the brighter things of life. Of course, in between you have thousands of groups who sound like the know what they're talking about. How then, do you discern truth? How do you take on your own beliefs to ensure you're only pursuing truth and not your (be it intentional on not) bias?

This is my quest. 

My conclusions may not be the same as others, nor may they always remain the same. The thing about pursuing truth is that you always find new information that may change everything you knew from before.

I may not agree with everything Malcom X believes in, but he did say on thing that I can whole heartedly agree with, "Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as a new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth."

There will always be more to discover and to think about, ignoring it doesn't make it go away. So here am I, learning some knowledge and hopefully passing it on to those who would join me.
