I hae decided to use this journal for another purpose. In addition to voicing my feelins and emotions, I have decided to start usig this site as a sanctuary for my criical tinking exercises. This course talks about getting in touch with your emotions and ways to del with them and confront them and change them. So i figure people can also learn from this so y should i just reap the benefits. this might mea multible posts in one day though and a litle less restriction on my part on appropiate things to say but if i plan to succede in this course then i have to do this. I poloigize if i offend anyone in any way.

Do you think a wise person is one who reconizes his or her own ignorance?
I definatly believe that a wise person is someone who can admit their own ignorance. Anyone can claim to know eveything. Shit I even know people that believe they know everything and they think there always right. Whether it's about politics, life, relationships, or even personal issues. They always beieve that there right and thas it. But hey do't realize that in fact there the ignorant ones. Beause of their inability to admit they might not be right and shut themselves out from people with different ideas they in fact become ignorant.
However those who realize that they don' know everyhing, admit this to themselve, keep an open mind, listens to othrs, and learn not to resist your ideas and thoughts then will you b able to become mre wiser. Being wise doesn't neccesairly mean knowing everything there is to know in books, or knowing about politcs, r other stuff. Being wise is knowing that no matter how much yu know thre is always more to learn. also being wise also means never to limit yourself to one idea. when making decisons you must consider everyting at once instead ofjust the one sided argumnt. you must consider the body, mind, and soul to make decisions and think critically. If you can't do that then you will limi your self and never learn anthing about life and yo'll be trapedin your own despair and neve be able t recopnize your own ignorance. Some will feel that I'm talking specificaly about the and iwant them t know that I am. Iwill not hold anything back in my critical thinking becaue todo so would limit mysef and would not alow e to admit my ow ignorance.
Q.2 Identify a change you have made in your world f ignorance aftr eading his far?
Honestly i have become more in touh with mysef. I realized that the things that plaue me can be answered by just thining tings through. I need to learn from the experiences that have been troubling me, maintain hope by maturing my attitude in life, and epaice my fustration with m thoughts and ways to overcome them.
Q.3 What ideas did you have about critical thinking before reading definition n page 1?
my definiton of criicl thnking was t become deep in thought about things tht deeply bother you r things that will affet yourlife qreatly. seems like i was only half right
