Lillian Smith (1897-1966) wrote: Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surprise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more securely.

When I read this I thought of the many that have only one view of the world. I often find that when someone is closed-minded, he or she misses out on so much wonder that life affords us as human beings. We look back upon Columbus who was willing to risk his very life and the lives of many to seek something he only dreamed of. Where did the Columbus’ first thought of the new world come from? Contemplate the fact that many men around the world were rushing to create the light bulb at the same time Thomas Edison was. How could it be that all of these men thought of the same thing at the same time? When I think of alien life forces, I find it surprising some people have difficulty believing when there is evidence dating back to the Stone Age.

Throughout the centuries, man has evolved into the greatest computer God could ever create. So it begs attention when one would think our “hard drives” would never need updating. As Smith wrote above, it would be ignorance to reject growth of any kind – to do so would be like living in a locked cell, repeatedly experiencing the same things over and over, without the possibility of escape. This, to me, would be torture.

I consider myself an open-minded skeptic. If I haven’t experienced something for myself, I cannot claim it to be truth, but I’m open to the possibilities. I hope you’re open to new adventures, theories and possibilities – you just might be the next creative genius that forever changes the world!
