Do you blindly follow someone elses truth and beliefs, or do you have your own?

I follow my own set of beliefs, and follow no-one. to follow blindly would just be silly, and i aint nobody's slave.
I got a brain, and I am capable of seeing things beyond the bull***t we are told. My truth is my own, and my light is UV!

What's that? Cannot someone blindly follow their own truth? I would think so.
And consider this; why are there universities, books, academics of varying sorts? Perhaos the wisdom that could be a part of man's ideology is better said, better explained and more thought out than one person's ability to construct idoelogies of their own.
I understand the desire to think that we are so wonderfully independent from another persons point of view, but are we really? Could there have been a person who explored what you believe with greater effect, better application, or more insightful expression?
What makes you think that you are so capable of explaining the universe on your own? Don't you have an author, a writer who expresses what you think or feel better than you can. Do you not admire anyone elses literary capability?
What a large world you would be missing if you thought that there is no one who was better than you at something.

blindly following someone else's truth will lead you to misery....dont blindly follow your own truth as well..... follow as you see the truth... at the same time be open to the possibility that there is a higher truth out there.... and always be aware and concious of what you do....

What is my "truth", eh? Hmm. Spiritual relativism. Nah, never could stand it. Causes too many killings. I would...have to say...the...Word. Yea. That's what I'll go with. So,- what blind "truth" are you following these days? How about what blind "un-belief" are you following? Is it your own, or are you just following the "blind herd" for lack of something else to do? Social acceptance into the really "cool" groups, huh?!? Wow. With a magic decoder ring and all. What's the secret knock in case I want to come in?

I pride myself as being a leader not a follower. I however will take on the beliefs of someone else if they can convince me that their beliefs are worth following.

I don't blindly follow anyone. I have my truth, I know what I believe and why.

I follow what I know as 'the spirit of truth', in essence, I'm always searching for new perspectives that make more sense according to the word that God provided to mankind. I don't like interpretations that are contrary to the Bible and seperate myself from them.

A little of both. I have always had my own beliefs and I am finding that they are very much like Islam, which I am currently studying.

"TRUTH KNOWS TRUTH"
What may seem blind to some may only be a resting place for others. "Truth may takes it own journey and stop where if feels it should.
"There is no contest since truth belong to no one group in particular, but to everybody.
After all "Truth" is who we all are when you boil it all down.
