As a country, we have become pretty damn conceited. Our reasoning isn’t the best, our vanity doesn’t rule the world, but we sure like to think our military does. Might doesn’t make right and never has, but that doesn’t stop us from blowing over a half trillion a year on “defense”. America certainly has alot of great points, but bragging is not one of em. What we spend just on “education” should make us the smartest people in the world, yet we destroy constantly.
If the USA really is the best country in the world, fake pride has been bringing it down to a shameful depth of faulty intelligence, and we don’t even know it. It’s not too late, the fix (according to me ) is really simple, stop thinking we know it all and realise we don’t. Using violence instead of real logic is a really good indication, the most intelligent men in history realized that their reasoning was more than sound. Those are the smart ones, the ones who really knew that reason was truth. Christ, Gandhi, Martin Luther King didn’t just think they knew that non-violence was key, yet we keep trying to justify the use of force like we think we know. Fact is, if you think you know, that just proves you don’t. Of course do not take my word for it, knowing is definitely not believing!
