Are your eyes Open? or Closed?
NOTE:  Please don't turn this into a religion or political thread. Plus these are my outlooks and I want feedback if you have something to add or correct. :)

What I mean is:

Are you the type of person that lives there live with there eyes open or closed?

Eyes Closed:  You live with no care about pretty much anything but what you is there in black and white.  (I.E.  You see color, but you don't care how it works)  Your life is caught up in illusions/ abusing sex and/or drugs, all feelings that can be accomplished by in other ways.  I hope I'm making sense :sigh: Not caring of the consicenses you want to live your short meaningless life without regret. You listen to the media and believe what they are telling you, because your country thinks it's right.

Eyes Open:  You're curious about the world, what it can become and don't give in to what people and the media think is right. You actually think logicaly about decisions around you even if it affects what people think about you.  You're interrested in more things that people could care less about.

Is my outlook right?
Feel free to tell me why you think so or not and we can strengthen our knowledge on the way people live their lives, this is just on my personal experience, so.... You will most likely have different opinions.

I would say I'm generally what you would classify as an "eyes open" person, but I will admit, I do have my preconceptions on certain subjects, and it takes a lot to convince me otherwise. Hey, at least I'm not bull****ting. In my defense, these views are mostly based on previously learned truths, so its not as ig though they're baseless.

That's what I was thinking when I was typing really...
But, I have my reasons.

I guess I'm confused as any other regular person...

I find that my eyes are open, sometimes I close them and wander off if my own little world just to escaped reality for a little while.

i don't think it's that simple, sometimes closed-eye people will have revelationary experiences, sometimes open-eye people can be really really stupid about things.

When I graduate, I'm going to be a doctor, and people are going to come to me looking for treatment and prescription drugs, and I'm going to give it to them. Is anyone scared yet?

I don't agree with the eyes closed with reference to sex and drugs. I don't think that all people that do drugs are media sheep, in fact, most people I've met that have done any amount of drugs actually reject most media that is spoonfed to them.

does it count as eyes open if my main policy is to take what's in the Daily Mail and then belive the exact opposite?

[color=66ff00]I think quite a few of these polls are ill concieved. Everyone has aspects of both, you can not be one extreme or the other, it's just not in human nature.

I don't much like the phrasing of the original post. Its sort of like saying "Do you believe in strangling babies at birth or are you some sort of closet communist?"

If you're asking me if I blindly follow anything at all then I guess my eyes are wide open. I question everything.

If your eyes were closed, how would you be able to see the screen and post in the poll?

Exactly what I meant...

I can't explain things the way I want to...
bah, forget it.

Plus, I didn't quite explain it right either, I shouldn't have made examples of what "I" personally thought, so

In my opinion closing your eyes is not ignorance. It's knowing the facts and pretending they don't exist.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
