Value is subjective... that which to you is trash is to another treasure, and those noted three are certainly not held in equal standing by all persons.
Quote:A firm belief of their "attained" knowledge. Whether in libraries, or answering their own curiosities, many hold debates, with an intent to contradict, rather than reason and learning.
Faith and intention are not one and the same (one is what you know, the other is what you plan/are attempting to do... there is no overlap).
Contradiction is the essence of learning and a vital tenet of the very foundation of logic (A ≠ ≠ A), lending us to mathematics, which is the basis of all science and monetization in this world. It sounds like you need to understand that to learn: you must first have been wrong. The righteous cannot learn until they feel humility.
Quote:Possessing a quality, open mind is the greatest tool any of us could have. To imagine possibilities is a task; But to imagine impossibilities is a feat of will and real curiosity.
Being a 'great' tool does not also mean it is a 'good' tool. I tire of enduring 'impossibilities'... it stops being a fun tool when you can't turn it off, and it stops being a useful tool when it breaks the builder.
With the right definition... anything is possible. Nothing can be impossible without defying logic... but things can certainly be illogical and also real (hypocrisy)... just where does that leave impossibility? In the head.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
