| Taken as Gospel Building on a Foundation of Sand When coming into adulthood a person has already established a foundation for his life. It consists of many elements such as what he has been told by his parents, teachers, and friends. Often there are elements that are not true and can be a hindrance in life. In primitive societies many of these beliefs would be called superstitions. In the modern era, for example, beliefs can range from urban legends to conspiracy theories. The people in Korea were convinced years ago that the electric fan can cause death (fan death). Many today still have this apprehension.  The “fan death” idea is illustrative of how an idea can persist in the absence of a hard definitive knowledge of truth. For a person more knowledgeable, the movement of air would not be considered dangerous except if the air was moving at a very high velocity, dry air (over days) removing moisture from a body, or high velocity air driving sharp objects towards a body causing lacerations. It also, might be possible for a worn bearing to put enough of a mechanical load on the fan motor to draw enough electrical current to start a fire with an un-fused circuit. Having specific factual knowledge can allow unsubstantiated apprehensions to be dismissed. However, the person without the knowledge of truth is at the mercy of his fears. |
