What I would like to share with you is the Art of Skepticism.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Skepticism is a defense mechanism within us for self preservation. This is a good thing.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Although, there are times that this mechanism prevents us from believing things that are true because of our skepticism we see it as a lie.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Example:</p><p style="text-align:left;">I work here at home and take care of the house and various animals and what not. My hands are in so much water they many times crack and bleed.</p><p style="text-align:left;">One day on the television I happen to stop and notice an add for a product that (so they said) cleared that situation right up. My thought...</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="decoded aligncenter" src="http://www.skateboardingmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/yearight.jpeg" alt="Mind Melt on Skepticism" height="463" width="600" /></p><p style="text-align:left;">Think about it, "how many hand lotions have you bought when your hands were so dry they cracked and would bleed. Tell me, "Did they do any good?"</p><p style="text-align:left;">Most the time the answer is, "No"!</p><p style="text-align:left;">It took viewing this same commercial several times while my hands were drying out more as well as hurting worse for me to try the product but buy it I did and...</p><p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Guess what?</strong></p><p style="text-align:left;">It did just what they said it would do! (If you happen to have this problem) then I will share the product with you. I can tell you this really does work...</p><p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/OKeeffes-Working-Hands-Cream-3-4/dp/B00121UVU0/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_til?tag=susjbosmarhel-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=4DIPTEZAW7FBW72A&creativeASIN=B00121UVU0" target="_blank">Click here if you have the same problem.</a></p><p style="text-align:center;"></p><p style="text-align:left;">Now back to my point. Over time we have been lied to, scammed and totally taken advantage of so much that we have let our Skepticism rule our critical thinking.</p><blockquote><p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/absolute-power-corrupts-absolutely.html" target="_blank">"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men."</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align:left;">This is true even within ourselves. If you let Skepticism, Fear, Hate and so on have absolute power; you will become a corrupted person and may not even know it. Be aware of your inter-self.</p><p style="text-align:left;">Food for thought.........</p><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="decoded" src="http://www.imgion.com/images/02/Hope-you-have-a-great-day-glitter-bee.gif" alt="http://www.imgion.com/images/02/Hope-you-have-a-great-day-glitter-bee.gif" /></p><p style="text-align:left;">Susan</p></div>
