When you only hear one side of any topic, debate, or discussion then your perspective is lacking.....

 



I can see the correlation of Cyndie to Kristen just as Lisa is to Jordan.  They only hear one side of any idea, are afraid of change, and only blame rather than solve any problems.

My family thinks that if they don’t hear opposing opinions then they won’t ever have to deal with the fact that they are wrong, and refuse to admit it, only when you are able to admit when you’re not right will you ever learn something new.  Inventors didn’t get their inventions right the first time or without other people’s input.  If you don’t have a diverse circle of differing opinions that are open minded enough to know that they don’t know it all, then you will never have the full picture or perspective of anything.  Echo chambers are just bubbles of like minded people that just repeat each other’s biases like an echo reaffirming each other, only solidifying their pre-existing biases.  Maybe we should treat those just like pre-existing conditions in the health industry, those that have very apparent biases should be given much less weight because they are common and predictable.

   If people were made to swear on the bible or something equivalent like we do in a courtroom to remind people of their morals before they post anything on social media, maybe that could curb some of the misinformation overload.  Like a Pledge of Due Research. With very clear wording and a checkbox.

   No one likes change, but just like the telegraph to the telephone to the cell phone, change is inevitable.  So you either grow and adapt or fall behind, which would you prefer to do?

   If I was wrong, like I’ve said before,  anyone in my family would love to rub it in my face but they should also know ID LOVE TO BE PROVEN WRONG but that has yet to be done.  I will never just accept what they think is reality for what reality actually is, they see the world thru a tiny lens that also mirrors how they are as well.  I have a mind of my own and unlike my dad, am very able to listen to others.  If it’s an opinion without a logical reasonable explanation then it’s just like wind or hot air, but since I’m persuadable, I can entertain other’s ideas without necessarily accepting them.  It’s kinda like hearing someone out, or allowing them to speak or convince you of something….

  If my family is actually smart, why do they communicate secretly and behind other’s backs and not out in public?  If they knew they were right they would have no problem sharing it with everyone.

  One other thing I find odd, why would cyndie be letting someone else know that her sister was in the hospital yet not a one of them care to listen to her? Me and her helper, who is a godsend for her sister,  my mother and sister have proven they do not care at all.   So who are they spreading this information when they shouldn’t even be allowed to know it?  People who actually visit her and truly care (and not in a from a distance way or even over the phone way) are the only one’s who should be allowed to know because that information is private, and all my family does is spread 2nd and 3rd hand information told to them from other family or people that work for them, do you think that they would ever disagree with them even if they knew they were wrong? Only if they wanted to be picked on or alienated from the little click that Kristen and cyndie have made in the McGaslighter heritage LOL.  

  Social connections is what they lack, people that they have honest loving connections with as few as one but even better like 4-10 good, reliable friends that they support and it goes both ways.  I know this is the key to a longer happier life but when your family is hell bent on causing a few only misery by isolating them, belittling them, and talking about them when they are not there is the PROBLEM.  No decision that affects us should ever be made without US PRESENT.   So now I ask them, Who organized the family when me and my aunt were moved out of where we used to live?  I can show them quite easily exactly what it’s like without hurting anyone or anything but I bet not a one of them would volunteer to be shown what it’s like. but they had no problem doing it to us, so it should be done to them as well because they lack empathy so unless it happens to them they will never understand, so they need to be shown period.
