I figured it out along time ago. Take heath for example.
I had a doctor I believed in implicitly. Until I realized I’ve been had. First reaction was anger and humiliation. It took a long time to get over it.
Now I rarely believe what I’m told on the surface. I look at everything Side A is telling me. Then I look at everything they have to say about the other guys they don’t like (Side B). Then I turn the tables and do the same thing with side B. This can take years, because not only are they each promoting their own agendas and slamming the other guy, but then politics and the media get involved too.
It’s a game of smoke and mirrors. So you do all the research you can, interview as many people as are willing to be interviewed, and finally pick one option and go for it. You might be disappointed and have to regroup, or you may find a whole new world open to you.
It doesn’t pay to take yourself too seriously, so have fun and enjoy the ride!
