Info in Bits & Pieces

This is a short comment on the word CREDIBLE. Someone shared that they had heard from a “credible” why the vaccine is necessary for children age 12 and up. That got me to thinking about credible sources in general.

Credible sources are the ones the reader or hearer can trust. But are they always? Credible means believable (because I wish them to be). A source’s credibility many times may simply rest with the individual that reads their work or listens to their words. They seem believable. If we believe them to be believable then we “trust” them and trust that their words are true.

One should always be a little skeptical of what anyone says or writes today. Why is that? Because you have no idea or clue just how deep the corruption goes in the United States and some of the other countries. The level of corruption is unsettling and frightening. We don’t doubt that the news media is corrupt and spends more time pushing propaganda that truthful information. But we don’t want to believe that the systems and institutions that govern our health care, our child’s education and where we worship could also be corrupted and evil. It is simply too much to consider, but is it?

There are good people in every institution. They honestly care for our welfare. Unfortunately they can be working in corrupted systems in which higher ups within their organizations may be pressuring them to push in a certain direction. Knowing that some of them are under such pressure, you must carefully evaluate their advice. Does their advice seem reasonable, logical, and makes sense based on the homework that you have been doing over the last year. If your only source is the main new outlets, then you are way behind in thinking for yourself. Let me encourage you to dig hard, broaden you scope of reading and listening to find reliable sources. Learn to think logically. It will be hard work. Treasures await! Be a treasure hunter and share what you know with others. To a fruitful journey!
