Skeptic vs. Gullible
Skeptics! Terrible, awful, unspeakable things, skeptics!
"I do not believe. The fact I do not believe makes it true. It is not my truth but a universal truth. It is fact."
Not so. What many skeptics have yet to learn, despite best attempts from some to try and teach them, is that it's not a matter of truths and facts and proof but a matter of perception. Because you aren't willing to believe you won't see. Because you don't see you won't believe. Round and round we go and everything gets darker with each rotation.
There are lots of different types of skeptics. Some of them are only jaded or sad people that may have once looked up at the sky and seen shooting stars but lost themselves along the way. Some are simply too afraid to trust in something they can't define or explain with formulas. Then the worst, the most fright-making. The ones that would, and do, actively rid the world of the magical and mundaneless. I'm not afraid of being or becoming one, there's no need to fear that, I'm afraid of them.
I am someone who does rely on others having a certain level of gullibleness. *grins* But I am gullible too so it's ok. People say that because I believe all kinds of things that they don't and are sure they shouldn't. But I know that these things should be believed and so I think they're skeptics. Maybe I'm gullible to believe in mortal-people.
The merry-go-round of perception.
