Critical And Independent Thinking

 

"Critical And independent Thinking is practiced in My Life essentially via intuition gained through wisdom by failure. Critical thinking is a skill that develops over time. Independent thinking does not occur overnight. I am open to having my cherished beliefs challenged, and must learn how to “defend” my views based on evidence or logic, rather than simply “pounding my chest” and merely proclaiming that my views are “valid.” One characteristic of the critical, independent thinker is being able to recognize fantasy versus reality; to recognize the difference between personal beliefs which are nothing more than personal beliefs, versus views that are grounded in evidence, or which have no evidence... and after all that, add Faith."
