General

First, thanks for taking the time to check out this blog about my
Children’s Audio Stories. I’m looking to publish children’s stories and
you have the opportunity to rate them, get them for free for an unspecified amount of time, or what ever
you like to do with them. That is, except reprint as your own. I own
the copyright to this material and I’m the sole creator, so permission
to reprint is a legal necessity.

If you find something you like,
please don’t hesitate to copy it and put it on your ipod or a CD for
your children to listen to. I love comments. I’ll take comments about
the story, the recording, the tone, or whatever you find important to
note. I will attempt to create one of these every week. This could be
difficult as I am a parent of "I’m almost five" twin girls. Parenting
is the greatest thing I’ve ever done by the way. My kids love to play
and are growing way to fast for me! They also won’t let me out of the
bedroom at night unless I tell them about "The Old Woman of the Forest"
or "Debbie and Tutu". For your information, I’ve tested these stories
on them first.

Once again, thanks for checking out my stories!
If you find you like them, and want more, you can show me you really
like it by donating to my effort.

Welcome and Hello,

It seems there are so many experts out in the world today. I am in need of some experts. I definitely have come to some conclusions in my 31 years of life. I’m not sure my conclusions are right. This is where I am hoping for expert opinions to aid me in becoming a wiser person and a more productive citizen. I’m not necessarily looking for facts mind you, but different points of view that I haven’t considered.

For example, one of my most recent conclusions about the human mind is that it is completely incapable of grasping the complete picture of just about anything and everything. More and more I see our world as one of cause and effect and I find no congruence between people with regards to what effect results from a particular cause. People answer from their own unique experiences where they either answer from experience or hypothesis. It seems that experience, real living experience where the problems have been encountered multiple times, is the only thing that gives clues to what effects lay ahead. The troubling part to me is it takes years to gain this experience in a given field, and that’s only experience in one field. This thought leaves me feeling that the complete perspective is not in our nature.

Socrates took great pleasure in finding those who were successful in one field and believed that what they learned in their area of expertise carried over into other fields. This was his main definition of a “fool”. It seemed to me that his acceptance of ignorance was his power and wisdom. For me, it seems that this is the only thing that seems to remain a constant in human understanding across different subjects.

Experts, if you’re out there, please help me out. Should I just study history or what?
