You are Mistaken

Social comment?

 

You are mistaken.

 

The arguments range far and wide.

Opinions held stubbornly

 will be adhered to by each side

Because we do not want to see.

 

That we may be wrong possibly.

Brain washed by what we have been taught .

By teachers who most probably

 had not expended too much thought.

 

Passed on the tenets of their creed

for which they had no evidence.

They merely listened and agreed

 which shows a lack of competence.

 

 A teacher should be confident

 that what he teaches is the truth.

Mere words are insufficient

 when you are educating youth.

 

Challenge all you have been taught.

Although in fact it may be true

Do not accept without much thought.

The currently prevailing view.

 

Each creed will claim they are correct.

 It ‘s human nature so to do

 This will not change. I don’t expect

 We’ll ever know which one is true.

I love the idea of questioning the prevailing view .And from you comes not just teaching but knowledge in spades and curiousity abounds!
Bravo You are an individual without peer!
