Reason: A prayer

I vow today, never to accept any fact, opinion or thought without reason. Never to believe without questioning. Never to understand without asking why. I vow to always be true to reason. Always to give a thought, and figure it out myself, why this must be so. To adopt a more scientific approach to life and all its dealings. And I know that this in itself will be my big contribution to society. By not being another unthinking face in the crowd. Adopting the majority vote. Not believing or even imagining that there can be another way! A solution out of the ordinary. I will escape from all that is mundane, and strive to be extraordinary. To NOT fit in. To not mould myself into the existing forms, but find a new, individual one, that suits me. I will not be sorry for my strikingly different thoughts. I will stand by myself, even if no one else will. I will be who I am, and to do this I will accept myself, for myself.
