"The great struggle for commonsense!"

I just watched a two hour segment from a long documentary on the Vietnam war on PBS. Allot of misery came out of that war while both sides, I took from watching, had legitimate reasons to think it was a fight worth fighting. The Vietnamese had suffered under colonialism for a very long time and then into their country the Americans came replacing the French occupiers. The Americans themselves were struggling themselves to defeat communism.

 Two people then collided in what became a horrific conflict that once again lulled another generation of man into one more horrible awful war. This kind of blind aggression has repeatedly caught and controlled humanity in its effects across time.  

No one anywhere in the world who believes in a cause hasn't an argument for what their doing. Wherever anyone has an idea, some ideas of course might be fairer ideas then others, where the human person naively is there interpreting those ideas he/she is doing that interpreting imperfectly, and there lies the problem. 

The problem is that finding the truth from ideas, that are susceptible to many forms of different kinds of persuasive arguments, is that any view of the truth, in all the ideas of the world, can persuade anyone in any way.

 Therefore because human beings, lets call us innocent minds,  are caught in this caldron or meat grinder of ideological persuasion it therefore then means that we’re continuously and easily mistaken in what they think and what we believe.  

People because this is true don't have the inherent theory of mind to have the capacity therefore to figure out why someone else’s version of "the truth" is going to unstoppably be often very different from what they experience and end up believing for themself.

Many people alive aren’t able to empathize with this difference in belief. They simply condemn entire swaths of Earth. Ulterior beliefs are held in great suspicion and because of this people often lose sight of one another’s common humanity. 

One mans ideas might actually be the truth over another mans ideas but that’s irrelevant to the hope for mankind of knowing those other ideas. To hold the easily mistaken people, lets call them innocent minds, responsible for this failure of interpreting the truth is beyond bazar. 

In not finding often what in ideas is limited to ones exposure or experience means the ideas naturally believed by some will of course not be believed by others.

 It’s bazar and misguided therefore to hate anyone effected by an idea. If we decline to see the vulnerability we face in this confused state of the human condition we then proceed to judge mankind unfairly.

 Humanity should be looked at then with total equality where every human being should be seen with equal dignity everywhere. As we encounter the insidious traps that we keep falling into and that keep causing us to condone cutting each others throats blindly maybe we can try empathizing instead with each other.

Falso logic "The downfall of humanity!"

(A drunken rant in a chat room no one probably listened to.) 

If I was sober right now, which I’m not, I'd tell you all here a thing or two! The first lengthy position I'd take would tell you all that your simplistic simpletons. Fear not I'm not distancing myself from that blanketed title FOR I TOO am a simplistic simpleton! Next I'd say to you as simpletons, which you and I are, we need to be aware of our surroundings. 

 We need to be aware of the world and it's ideas, it's logic, or illogic, and those ideologies because they will mess our heads up. These ideas out there will justify and cement our position, wherever we stand, because wherever ideas are there has already been an articulate argument made which we the gullible, past and present, receivers will adapt like it were grounded in cement.

The ideas themselves I pre-warn you will divide humanity up. You will find self justification for yourself and an outward alienation, suspicion, hostility for other groups. THIS IS WRONG LOGIC!

Human beings are blank slates adopting various understandings that almost always prove to be false understandings. This is my opinion of knowledge. As blank canvasses, regardless of the ideas that sway us, if ideas alienate you from your fellow human being DO NOT BELIEVE IN THEM! Anything that leaves no room for common humanity is an earlier adaptation of a false idea.

 Love then instead the totality of the human condition. Show therefore mercy to everyone and believe God is bigger then are categories discern! Believe God is big enough to be fairer then us, kinder then us, more loving then us, wiser then us! We’re only fools if we put complete trust in human logic as far as I can now tell!
