Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Ever get to a fork in the road and don’t know which path to choose? We’ve all been there ~ wondering if A is somehow “better” than B, thinking, analyzing, writing down lists of pros and cons, wishing we knew the correct answer. The reason you don’t know is because you don’t know what is…
