I tend not to listen to people who deem themselves spiritual. I'm not saying I'm not spiritual, I'm just saying there's a lot of lost mother-scratchers out there who are pretending to be wise. Wisdom doesn't come from a book, or just one teacher, it comes from a lifetime of discovery and making mistakes. It's the wise old man, and the wise old lady that we seek for answers. It's never the kid wearing diapers in a playpen. You don't need to be old to be wise, but you need some time to discover, and sometimes it feels as though newfound discoveries are confused for wisdom when they are just small pieces to the wisdom pie.
When I was younger it was important to me to be right, to win an argument, to express my beliefs, to convince others to think like me. I don't feel that need as much anymore. The fact is, I've learned over the years that some people are just plain dumb, and no matter how you try to explain it to them, they'll never understand it.
But I digress. Newfound gurus, people who are on the search for answers that are right in front of their eyes, they're just as confused as everybody else, but for some unexplained reason they have the need and desire to suggest they have all the answers.
