Recognizing True Worth- Discernment

Things and experiences often have values that can be obscured or misrepresented.. The challenge is to have the good sense and wisdom to be able to see and appreciate these values.

Propaganda and What to Believe

Mass destruction of people and property in Ukraine, based on widely recognized lies and propaganda fed to the Russian population by dictator Vladimir Putin.

The prevalence of propaganda forces every individual to become diligently self-examining about his or her beliefs and to use critical thinking in forming opinions and beliefs about the world they live in.

Seeing What You Want to See

Beware of allowing yourself to fall under the undue influence of rationalization. Rationalizing can undermine the integrity of our beliefs. We come to believe what we want to believe because it suits our emotional interests and needs, and not because of its truth value.
