Let’s talk about “they” for a minute.  Again, I will reiterate, I do NOT know who “they” are.  But “they” are everywhere.

Honest to goodness.  How many times a day, do you here someone say…”Well, I read an article on garbage disposals the other day, and ‘they’ said never to put live snakes in there, without turning on the water first.”

(Okay… don’t get too distracted by the example… it is just terrible to think about really.)

Back at it.  Those pesky “they’s”….

“They” come up with a brand new exciting study of evidence everyday.  Coffee is now good for you.  Whoops… now “they” say it is bad.  Hey look.  Java is now good for you again.  And line up the list:  Red Wine, Red Meat, Fat, Salt, Eggs, Chocolate, Butter, and on and on.  Eat your White Pasty Foods.  Trust me on this one.

Here is the thing…. I’ve come to find out… “they” can be quite flippant.  And indecisive, wishy-washy, and namby-pamby.  You really can’t count on a thing the “they” tell you.

Some real & true recents studies which “they” conducted include:
• New Scientific Study Shows Rich People Cheat and Lie A Lot
• Four or more cups of coffee per day fights off cancer.
• Castration is the key for long life in men.
• Power walking reduces the risk of having a heart attack in half.
• Eating egg yolks is as bad as smoking.
• Female porn stars are happier than other women.
• Do YOU believe in the three second rule? Scientists reveal whether food dropped on the floor is safe to eat (if it’s picked up quickly enough).
• Eggs don’t affect cholesterol levels and Eggs are a great food for weight loss.

Okay.  We won’t hold any of this against “they”… as it may end up being bad for us… in some study somewhere.

So what do we really make of all of this?  What to believe or what to discard?  I mean… in the past two centuries, we have made enormous advancements in science and medicine.

I know this much to be true for me.
We can learn a lot from other people.
The middle ground in any area… is huge.
Having faith in others can be a good thing.
Having faith in others can be a bad thing.
Always, always…. always… prove your source of information.
Experience is your best teacher.

As for the “Theys”….  I think we should be compassionate to others.
So if you ever find a “they”… give ‘em a big hug.  They probably need it.

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.  — Theodore Roosevelt
