Don’t believe in anything....
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
Buddha ?
Who knows .... but it makes a lot of sense.
Test things out. Is it conducive to the Good and Benefit of One and All ?
Then Accept it. And Live up to it.
No matter who said this ... it makes good sense to me.
What do you think ? It almost reminds me of Spinoza.

So much truth and wisdom in this. 💗
Too many people follow blindly .... even when they see evil and destruction they still follow without questioning what is going on. I don’t understand that. Anyway.... I Love Blurt. So many good and kind people here.
Well said. Too many sheeple hey... lol and yes #blurt is kicking butt and taking names. 😜💗👌🌈
I think Jesus said it well also.... you will know them by their fruit ( their actions)
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. -
Matthew 7:15
Metanoia?
Weird
It just means to be skeptical .... test things out before you believe them. Like I tested Steem, Hive and Blurt and I like Blurt the best of all.... Test stuff out.
This is factual 👏
