Needs to be Said.

In my travels I have begun to notice that intelligent human interest in the unknown is deteriorating, and it is very heartbreaking to see people not using their minds for what they are designed to do: analyze, introspect, observe, calculate. The intellectual fiber of humanity is being shredded by those who choose not to do these thing; those who are giving up or losing the contemplative nature of the human mind. We need that connection, that intellectual spark, to function. A non-functioning mind is dead.
I am seeing less and less original and creative thought as I travel along my current town of residence.
The moral fabric of our society is also slowly being shrinkwrapped in generalities and courteous favors. Humans are becoming afraid to be honest with one another. We call this political correctness, but what it is really doing is dumbing down our own nature to be critical of one another. If you do not like someone, do not be afraid to tell that person. Be open and honest and specific. I'm not saying that hate is right. I'm saying that anger and discontentment are healthy and necessary to our intellectual, spiritual, and emotional growth as human beings.
