Word for today: Dissonance
Went digging for information on the death penalty, then onto a topic of us legal and prison systems... and somehow ended up reading this:
Consistency http://www.chapman.edu/comm/comm/fac...nsistency.html Quote:
I got me thinking that very often I seek out dissonance in life to challege what I believe and how I see things. Too often people unquestioningly believe in what they were taught growing up, somewhere in the process of becoming adults many people stopped asking the ultimate question of children everywhere: Why?

Very thought provoking.
Children tend to stop asking why when they learn stereotypes and social patterns.........Maybe Ignorance is bliss.

I don't think people necessarily ask why just because they are ignorant. I think they just stop asking because they think they know everything they need to know.

That's not quite what I meant Mazer....Perhaps I worded it poorly.
What I mean is that when you are Ignorant...you just haven't been exposed to something. It dosen't mean the same thing as stupidity. In a way, children are Ignorant to lots of things...which is why they ask why. But I think you are right, when people stop asking why, it is likley because they think that they know all that they need to know. hehe.......the other day my boss got irritated with me, cause I kept asking him questions. Said it reminded him of his kids.... Perhaps I am a blissfull person. then again maybe im just Ig-Nert.
