It's as silly as blaming everything on the Freemasons, or the Illuminati, or insert-bad-guy-here. But I do believe that someone must ask the hard questions, especially of our elected officials as well as powerful men who become members of so-called secret societies. Remember: Governments don't lie. People lie. And if you want the real story, you need to find out more about those people.","author":"Brad Meltzer","tags":["blame","blaming-others","conspiracies","conspiracy","conspiracy-theories","conspiracy-theory","finding-truth","government","guilt","history","investigation","journalism","lies","lying","question-everything","questions","skepticism","skeptics","truth"],"id":93377,"author_id":"Brad+Meltzer"},{"text":"Of all the questions we leave unanswered the one that comes back to haunt us the most is :'What if…' What if I'd married my college sweetheart? What if I had the good sense not to? What if I had been born in this job market? What if... What if I'd planned a little less? What if I'd lived a little more? What if I'd chucked it all and started my own company? 'What ifs' are never idle fantasy.

We awaken when we see knowledge being spread that goes against our own personal experiences. We awaken when we see popular opinion being wrong but accepted as being right, and what is right being pushed as being wrong. We awaken by seeking answers in corners that are not popular. And we awaken by turning on the light inside when everything outside feels dark.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["acceptance","ask-questions","awaken","awakened","awakened-heart","awakened-soul","awakening","awakening-mind","aware","awareness","conscience","conscious","consciousness","dark","darkness","development","enlighten","experiences","illumination","individual","individualism","individuality","inquiring","knowledge","knowledge-power","lessons","lies","life","light","light-and-darkness","light","light","media","morality","philosophy","pop-culture","popular","popular-opinion","popularity","power","question-everything","questions","right-and-wrong","right-questions","seek-truth","seeker","seeking-answers","seeking-truth","sheep","sleeping","spiritual","spiritual-growth","spirituality","thinking","transcedental","transcendence","waking-up","wisdom","wrong"],"id":207798,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"Most of the time, we see only what we want to see, or what others tell us to see, instead of really investigate to see what is really there. We embrace illusions only because we are presented with the illusion that they are embraced by the majority. When in truth, they only become popular because they are pounded at us by the media with such an intensity and high level of repetition that its mere force disguises lies and truths. And like obedient schoolchildren, we do not question their validity and swallow everything up like medicine. Why? Because since the earliest days of our youth, we have been conditioned to accept that the direction of the herd, and authority anywhere — is always right.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["ity","ity","bad-leadership","conditioning","corrupt","corruption","culture","deception","deceptive","decieve","dirty-politics","fabrications","fiction","follow","follow-your-own-path","fraud-and-conspiracy","free-thinkers","free-will","herd","herd-mentality","illusion","illusions","individuals","individuals","lies","lying","majority","majority-view","mankind","mass-culture","mass-media","masses","media","misguide","mislead","morality","people","philosophy","politics","pop-culture","popular","popularity","programming","question-ity","question-everything","right","right-and-wrong","sheep","social-problem","society","society-and-culture","think","thinking","training","truth","war","wrong","youth"],"id":276467,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"As artists, it is our job to question the rules and ask if they are relevant or outdated, necessary or arbitrary, helpful or oppressive.","author":"Teresa R.
