(22,114 posts)some will actually believe when others tell them of things (second hand) that they actually didn't see.
I've only have a few friends that will accept w/o question my statements on various things. And I'm thought of as 'highly intelligent' and thus have a reputation of being no nonsense type of guy, a lot of us are here on DU.
I find this really ironic being that we do have to accept a major part of the reality we live in without actually 'understanding what we are seeing and/or experiencing on literally thousands of items, and feel the impact of such things on a constant basis even though we can't see them, e.g., gravity, strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electromagnetic force, and maybe a newly discovered 5th force. We know that Gravity exists, otherwise we would go flying off the face of the planet, for example.
A lot of people filter events/facts/etc. such as UAP events/UFOs out of their minds, because they have a closed mind or are so narrowed minded and not open to other possibilities. If some don't actually see events / things / etc. that actually transpired perhaps down the street or thousands of miles away, with their own eyeballs, it's still the same response, they don't believe or refuse to believe.
It's ignorant or naive or stupid to think of things like this in this manner. We can't be everywhere at once so believing others when they state otherworldly facts etc. becomes more and more important. Unfortunately, there are others out there that play around w/ the facts for some nefarious purpose of some highly suspect people and groups. We must continue to shift through the realm of the constant onslaught of facts and / or information and decide for ourselves what is real and what isn't.
Highly qualified pilots, witnesses by the tens of thousands (maybe even millions by now), and I myself have witnessed / seen for themselves these craft with their own eyeballs. My event had the object basically floating over me at about 100-200 feet as it proceeded in a straight line above Independence, MO...my sister saw it too as well as other witnesses. Broad daylight, nothing to obscure the sighting what-so-ever, an event I'll never ever forget and probably will never see again another similar thing.
What really gets me is that why don't people believe that things can exist out there, because we don't have the technologies to build such things? We're, as a human race, just beginning to understand our world better, the microscopic, the bigger picture, etc. in which we all live. We are constructing items that have over 100,000 parts. We understand how to construct vaccines for more recent proof of our prowlness as a species.
Unfortunately, the bullies are trying to take over any kind of rational discussion on literally any topic. We'll have to simply tough it out, and tell the damn bullies to shut their damn mouths. I'm kind of tired of being bullied by the likes of djt, M green and her filthy mouth, ted cruz, and the likes of these ignorant people. Thank god that they don't impact our daily lives otherwise we'd all be in for some crap if one had to live and breath by what these thugs say or do.
