So, You're A Skeptic

So, you're a skeptic.

Maybe you've always been a skeptic. Maybe you've always questioned authority. Maybe you've always doubted the official version of anything and everything. Maybe you've never believed in ghosts, UFOs, bigfoot, or other common folklore.

Maybe you weren't always a skeptic. Maybe you became a skeptic after having been told one too many lies. Maybe life has been so hard for you that, finally, you cast aside silly beliefs in order to survive, because if you were going to survive, you needed a firm grip on reality.

Maybe you've seen other people chase moonbeams to the point of self destruction. Maybe you've learned from their bitter experience. Maybe you've been one of those people who have learned a hard lesson from the frauds who willingly take everything but give nothing.

You're a skeptic. Society doesn't like skeptics, but society needs skeptics. You question the status quo. You point out aspects of issues that other people don't see or won't see. You ask questions where questions aren't wanted. You push people out of the comfort of their complacency. You help all of us to face facts, whether we like it or not.

You're a skeptic. To be a skeptic in this world isn't easy. You take unpopular points of view. You hold opinions that are often the opposite of those who are close to you. You don't fit in. You aren't “normal”, like everyone else.

Well, who wants to be normal in an insane world?

I'd rather be a skeptic.
