Have you ever wanted to do something but thought it might be dumb?

I test a lot and let the results tell me.

We should always he interested in finding truth and peace. If our way is not working then some other way may help. It is good to test and see the results. The bible reminds us of this "Test everything; hold fast to what is good; abstain from every form of evil," (1 Thess. 5:21)

Even if you are an atheist, this concept of testing can be of help to you. For with such tests, 'the proof of the pudding will be in the eating' and decisions on how to live will not be left only to your ego, but will be grounded in peace.
