Can we inspire others to THINK?

A number of people looked at your book in my family. I was thinking very hard last night and I came to this conclusion - If reading your book is a metaphor for finding the purpose of the universe/intellect then:

Some look at it and don't even try to understand it.

Some read it all and say "it is interesting - but I will blindly stick to my religion". (Or ignorance)

Some look at a fraction and never look at the rest because they are scared.

Some question it and learn more.

Some look at a fraction and dismiss the whole because they missed the forest through the trees. (or the point)

Some read a fraction and set it aside. They think: 'I will look at it later.' Does later ever come?

Some say it is nice, but what do I do with it?

Some refuse to accept it because it will get lost in the clutter.

Some will search it to prove that they did the homework.

Some look at it again and again - until it makes more sense.

Some want you to tell them your interpretation of it (in one sentence of course) so they don't have to read it for themselves.

Some accept it initially, but change their mind.

It truly is amazing what you can come up with when you use the freedom of choice to develop the intellect. Thanks for a good book.

The Freedom of Choice was written for my children, my family, my friends, my colleagues and all those who SEEK. Its main purpose was to provoke, inspire and tease them to THINK.

Some of them still follow the flock without questioning and think that I am out of my mind.
