'The moment we want to believe something, we suddenly see all the arguments for it, and become blind to the arguments against it." - Georg Bernard Shaw
I find this statement all too true and see it over and over again amongst those of my generation. It seems the lack of life experience leads many of them to believe the world only exists as they choose to see it. With the mass integration of technology into our lives it has become all too easy to pick and choose our news sources. Through this selection one can bury their head in the sand and maintain a ready battery of quotes and sound bites to protect a point which at its core is less than solid. All in all, I find it a rather sad way to live life. Perhaps the world isn't as sugar coated if you choose to read into the sides you feel less secure with, but at least that way you understand the entirety of the truth.
