Why You Should Not Listen to Me Or Anyone Else for that Matter

I have a lot of things to say. Some of them probably will not make sense,
others are just bad, and still others will make you question how I can even
continue to exist. But on some rare occasion I may say or write something that
you might agree with. Stop. Do not do that. I am going to try and do everything
and anything to get you to agree with me, but that is exactly what you must not
do because you should not listen to me or anyone else. The only person who
matters is you. The only person who makes a decision is you. The moment you let
someone else start dictating how you should think, act, feel it is game over.
Go over here,
fill out the form, and sit down and wait.

Now you might say, Paul, aside from sporting such rugged good looks I agree
with you, I am in control, but you just told me to not agree with you! Yes dear
reader I did say that, but that is not the full extent of my point. It is more
accurate to say you should not agree with me UNTIL YOU HAVE COME TO THE
SAME CONCLUSION
. By all means take into account my reasoning, another
source, a book, a website, anything reputable, but please oh please do not just
parrot back what someone says for the mere reason that they said it. Think
critically about the idea and examine just the facts. Whatever conclusion you
come to you should be willing to die over. To steal a phrase, fear is coercer
of conformity. When you liberate your thinking from the control of others you
can truly be your self.
