A Place for a Quantum Tenet




When one takes a seven-hour trip via car alone, one has an opportunity to THINK and ponder one’s present standing in the world.  I recently had that opportunity.

During one stretch of rural Kentucky, I lost a strong radio signal and found myself in silence.  Having listened to several hours of talk radio, I began to analyze current events, question the validity of the reports, and establish a personal opinion.  It then occurred to me that my opinion is based not only upon the most current knowledge, but rather, upon the totality of everything I believe.  I then began to “whittle down” and synthesize my belief system which I now call my
“Quantum Tenet”.  I offer it to you.

·      I believe in logic
·      I believe that as homo sapiens we are biological creatures whose reasoning  power defines our individuality
·      I believe in aesthetics
·      I believe in moral intelligence
·      I am a secular humanist
·      I am a pacifist

“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.” – Gordon A. Eadie

Merry Mount is a place where I stand and where I can be true to myself.
