354. Doubting and non-doubting behaviour. There is the first only if there is the second.

non-doubting behaviour –

is ignorant behaviour –

unlikely –

we’ll see the end of that

but doubting behaviour –

behaviour that is open and critical –

does not depend on –

stupidity –

what it depends on –

is understanding –

understanding that –

whatever we say or do –

is open to question –

is open to doubt

this understanding –

is quite natural –

but we are all victims –

to some extent –

of those who wish to control –

those who wish to play –

the authoritarian game –

it’s a game well entrenched –

in many forms –

in every culture

the only way to beat it –

is to not play it –

don’t bow –
