The main thing to remember when judging the world such as I have been doing is just how limited our experience with other people really is...I had careers that saw me meeting new folk every day and in situations where I would learn a great deal about them and hence one can easily believe one has a vast experience and therefore a wide knowledge of people...now of course I have met more folk than many but when you work out the numbers you realise even if you have met a thousand fold more than most that you still have only met a very small number of the world population and so you must conceed you really don't know that much....without humility wisdom has no home.
AND then there are the folk who have one negative experience say with a policeman or public servant, lawyer or doctor and in their wisdom pronounce all in that group are the same... they base their view on one interaction...and even if they had hundreds they still really know nothing of the overall group...such a pity folk generalise and I hate it when I find myself doing that...it is just plain wrong.
AND so maybe I have been too harsh on conspiracy theorists and sovereign citizens ...are they all crazy or only the ones that I have encountered or read about?
