Those Who Can

It seems that just about everyone believes they know what is going on. Everybody seems to know the best way to do something. Problem is, if everyone believes their way is the best way, and most people are arguing for a way that is different from those around them, someone is wrong… possibly every one is wrong.

Take religion for example. Either you don’t care or you believe your way is the right way. Sure, you may be accepting of other people and their unenlightened beliefs but you know that their life would be much more enriched if they’d discover the real truth, the truth you’ve found.

For any given subject there are two types of people. 1) Those who don’t care and 2) those who believe their way is the best. (Sure there are probably people out there who know their way is not the best but, if they have any amount of initiative, they’ll eventually figure out a better way or just set up camp with the “don’t cares.”)

Within the faction of people who believe their way is the best, there are those who are correct and there those who are not. The question is, how can one tell who the person is who truly knows the best way? And for the person who knows the best way but feels pitted against a majority of well-intentioned yet incorrect alternate theories, what is the person to do?

I’d love to find an answer to these questions but can one be found? Maybe this is simply part of the human condition.
