Desires of the brain

It’s true.  That rumor you heard?  Yeah, it’s verifiable… I’m not perfect. 

My views?  My reasoning?  Absolutely flawed.  Is it more dangerous for society for persons to think and think illogically or to not think at all?  I know many people who want to leave political opinions to others.  Who don’t particularly care about carbon emissions or America’s energy dependencies.  I have opinions, but moreso I have a desire to opine.  Dangerous scenario.  I’m intelligent, but probably not in a policy-making way.  I took an IQ test in 2nd grade and apparently did quite well because I began “gifted” classes soon afterward.  I have always aced my classes in school, being valedictorian in high school and doing well in college.  However, I think procedure and memorization have been the reasons for my successes.  Creative, reasonable, deep thought has not been a strong point of mine.  After some thought (yeah, you’re right, it wasn’t very deep), I realized that I haven’t had many people that stimulated interesting thought through conversation.  Until college, such conversation didn’t exist.  I’m a little behind.

I feel unintelligent because I know that I don’t know much.  However there is some intelligence in that thought, right?  I’m young, and I use that as an excuse to say silly things.  Oh, I’m young.  Yeah, you’re right – that statement was illogical.  I’ll be wiser one day.

I’ll continue to pretend that my thoughts are impressive.  Research, reading, studying… these are all necessary to fully develop views, right?  So much energy is required to be an informed citizen.  Think about the presidential campaigns.  I don’t know everything about each of the major issues confronting the candidates.  I have opinions about most of them though. :\

I desire to be an expert in something one day.  I desire to be able to impressively defend my views in… well, everything.  Maybe I should be like Soloman and ask God for wisdom… Hey, it worked for him. :]
