Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Awful Thoughts, or Taming Man
Because we believe something to be true, or not to be true, does not, in reality, prove or disprove anything.
Many are satisfied with their belief and never expect to change their mind simply saying, what was good enough for my father is good enough for. Me an acknowledgment that their minds are absolutely closed against all truth and a proof that such minds, selfish and bigoted, are limited to small things and can never grasp the great problems of the universe. Woe! It is with the man who cannot be lieve anything out of the ordinary - _who stops his ears and closes his eyes against everything that de mands the exercise of reason and intelligence.
